So Software Updater recently told me it wanted to update X11 and iTunes. No
problem, sez I, 'cause neither one needed a restart (I hate that). Go ahead, sez
I. And so it begins. After a few minutes, the installer pops up a dialog that
says, "You must quit X11.app before updating it. OK?" (or words to that effect).
I clicked "OK", expecting the installer to either quit X11 for me, or to stop
the install. Nope! It just popped that d*mned dialog box, over and over AND
OVER! HATE!

Worse yet, when it got to be time to update iTunes, yes, you guessed it. The
whole d*mn cycle repeated. HATE! HATE! HATE!
