Upgraded this morning and everything works fine with X11 (1.2a7) for
me (ppc).

Just a thought... perhaps use Disk Utilities to fix permissions?
I am scared to update now. It took me three weeks to get to the
point where most things work... the set back you describe sounds
horrible. Hope you are an isolated case, and you can figure it out
soon.

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 $

/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.
