Did you actually select the X11 package when you installed Tiger? It's not

Yes I did, it was all working prior to the X11 Update 2006. Also if I
did not have it installed, surely the Software Update will not request
to update it.
You would think that, but it turns out that is not the case. This was
the problem some users saw with the 2009-002 SecUpdate. They installed
X11 on Panther, upgraded to Tiger without selecting X11, and then the
2009-002 installed X11 bits expecting Tiger's X11, but Panther's was
there. Most people in this category saw X11 fail to run some
applications with a 'libexpat.0.dylib not found' error at load time.
What is the output of:
ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib
I just did a re-install of the whole system, and here is the output

After an X11 Update 2006, all the symbolic links are removed
What? What do you mean "all the symbolic links are removed"?
, so when I do an
I get something like:
$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib
...
libX11.6.dylib ->
I won't do the update for now as the X11 now works after a re-install
of the whole OS X, but perhaps someone can advise, if this is the
case?
I don't have Tiger around, but when I did a fresh install of it last
time (maybe 2 months ago), the 2006 update worked fine.
Additionally, you shouldn't need to reinstall the whole OS. Just
install X11User.pkg from your install DVD if you want to revert to your
original X11. You should then install the Combo Update to the latest OS
release.
The 2006 update was before my time, so I'm not exactly sure why it was
released separate from the OS update and then later OS updates contain
X11 bits as well... but I've never had a problem with it when I used it.
Can you please try installing the 2006 update again?
Check out the installer log afterwards.
