I've had the same experience (except I had no "user A" for which it worked).
New machine, new OS (10.8.2 Mountain Lion), new installation of everything, 
no plotting exactly as described above. Previous installation (OSX 10.7) was
fine and relatively uncontentious to install.

I took my lead from:

Now I have a working installation using X11.

1) Is there any evidence that the AquaTerm route (which I don't really follow,
to be honest) works reliably with OSX 10.8?

2) Is there any evidence that the X11 route I have working now is in some
way inferior to the AquaTerm route?
