- X11 will no longer work effectively with dual monitors (or an
external monitor plugged to a laptop in combination with the
builtin lcd)

- X11 won't even start in some circumstances (it is started by
the evil / magic / smoke and mirrors launchd daemon, and requires $DISPLAY
not be setup by your dot files)

- X11 will no longer enter full screen mode.

- There are problems with using arguments to applications in the
X11 Applications menu.

Apparently, the X in Leopard was based on a new Xorg code base and
was not ready for prime time.

There are various workarounds which involve installing X from Tiger.
