First of all, as a reality check:
You are sure there is no /Applications/Utilities/X11.app? You didn't
explicitly say so. Perhaps you aren't aware that it needs to be
launched explicitly?

You definitely don't need to reinstall the OS.
Either:
1. Run "Optional Installs" on your Mac OS X Install DVD and select
X11, or
2. Run the X11 installer by itself: /System/Installation/Packages/
X11User.pkg

I have recently upgraded to a core-duo iMac. I used the included
software to move accounts and applications from my G4 laptop.
However, when I tried to launch the GIMP, I got an error that X-11
was not found. In fact it was not there. However, when I attempt
to install X11 from the most recent download, I get the error
message that there is "already newer software" on my computer, and
X-11 won't install.
Anyone seen this before? What's the fix?
Do I have to re-install the system software (archive and install)
using the disk that came with the computer (this time including
X-11)?
TIA
