Great! That fixed it - thank you very much! I'm not the developer of TypeIt4Me, and that application appears to only accept *.app items for it's ignore list. I had to go directly into the preferences and manually add Xquartz but it did fix my problem.
So under Tiger all I needed to ignore was:
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app
and under Leopard I need to ignore:
/usr/X11/X11.app and
/usr/X11/bin/Xquartz
Thanks,
Mick
