10.5.1 and (no) X11

Well, I applied 10.5.1 and now I can't get X11 to start at all.

First, I tried to start it the way I started doing it back in Tiger, via
Spotlight (cmd-space x11 enter), but nothing happens, no bouncing icons
on the dock, nothing.

So, I fire up a terminal and try running xterm:

$ xterm
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: xterm: DISPLAY is not set


So, I try and run it straight out of the .app:

16:01:49] [~] lbb $ cd /Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/
[16:02:29] [/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS] lbb $ ./X11
command=/usr/X11/bin/xterm
[16:02:31] [/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS] lbb $ Last login: Thu Nov 15 16:01:42 on ttys001
/usr/X11/bin/xterm Xt error: Can't open display: /usr/X11/bin/xterm: DISPLAY is not set


?!

Launching from /usr/X11/X11.app, I get two X11 dock icons, then one
icon, then no icons.  No X11.

Okay, from the command line:

16:04:14] [/usr/X11/X11.app/Contents/MacOS] lbb $ ./X11 X11.app starting:
Xquartz server based on X.org Release 7.2, built on 20071113
Check-in failed: Permission denied
xrdb: Can't open display ''
can't open default display
Quitting XQuartz...



Hrm, a Permission denied error... I guess that's something, but I don't know what.

In any case, I don't have any X11 right now, and I'm not liking that.
