How do you generate this output? And do you know what code is
responsible?

x-server-version should be returning identical to ns-version-string
("gnustep-gui-0.12.0"
in this case), which it does here. (Don't be fooled by the name of
the function, it does not refer to X11.) If not it is a weird bug.
If you could put a println in ns_appkit_version() in nsfns.m and see
if it IS indeed being called and if it IS generating that weird
string, it would help track it down.

OK, I'll think about dropping the file.
