MyPaint @0.9.0_0 Runtime error -crashes after launch

[catichenor@…]

After updating to 0.9.0_0 from MyPaint 0.8.2_0, MyPaint crashes after launch with the message:

$ mypaint

Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-ylr3pH/org.macosforge.xquartz:0".

confpath = /Users/chris/.mypaint/

After downloading, compiling from source and installing from ​http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases, the crash still occurs, with the message changed to:

$ mypaint

Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-ylr3pH/org.macosforge.xquartz:0".

confpath = /Users/chris/.mypaint/

Abort trap

Eventually I found a workaround at ​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anjuta/+bug/651678

I installed gnome-icon-theme via MacPorts, then created '~/.gtkrc-2.0' and added the line:

gtk-icon-theme-name = "gnome"
