I'm trying to revert to Tiger's X11 on my Leopard environment

I've completed all of the steps, but when I try to launch X11 it
starts to launch and then fails. In the console window, I see the
following:

Should I try to bring back the Leopard X11 library and go through
the steps again? I really want to get this working. The Leopard
X11 app is a complete waste to me.
Well, this morning's update from Ben fixed numerous items, maybe
you should try Leopard X11 again:
* Yellow / invisible cursor on Intel platform
* Unable to drag windows between screens
* X11 apps don't "honor" the menu bar (meaning you can drag them
underneath)
* Badly-formatted .xinitrc warning message
* Customized Apps menu items with arguments did not work
* Modifier keys (shift, control, etc) would get stuck if you
switch away from X11 while holding down the key. If you still see
this problem with anything other than Spaces (which is an entirely
more complicated problem), please let me know.

I'll try to do this as I have time. To answer the question that I
know I will be asked -- no, I can't comment as to if or when these

that I would like for them to, and that the more testing these
patches receive, the more compelling a case I can make toward that
end.
So, this is not an official Apple release -- this is from Ben, the
XDarwin maintainer.
Very nice - much better - many thanks! Two small changes to the
install directions:
You can install the binary with something like:
$ cd /tmp
$ curl -LO http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/xorg-
server-1.2a2/Xquartz-1.2.0a2.bz2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Xquartz-1.2a2.bz2
$ bunzip2 Xquartz-1.2a2.bz2
$ sudo mv /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz.old
$ sudo cp Xquartz-1.2a2 /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz
sudo chmod 755 /usr/X11/bin/Xquartz
Then, (re)start X11.app.
As far as Spaces is concerned, I started out emulating my CodeTech
virtual desktop environment from Tiger and placing Leopard X11
windows in Space #2. What I discovered is that eventually all my X11
windows "migrated" to Space #1. So, if that's where they want to be,
then by gosh that's where I'll define them to be :)
Thanks for the private install ...
