You have two choices:
1) Don't upgrade and wait 6 months for this stuff to work the way
you want.

We're buying about 5-10 MacBooks per month. Where are we going to get
MacBooks that haven't been upgraded (I'll bet the next batch has
Leopard)? I guess we'll have to do some kind of shell script thing,
but from what I'm reading the Leopard X11 still doesn't work that well
(neither does Python/Tkinter, btw, which is what a lot of our software
is/going to. We have to compile our own package of those because
Apples' versions work about as well as this X11 does). THEN we have
to keep all of these different versions of OS/X11/workarounds
straight, as these laptops go off to experiments (literally) all over
the world for anywhere from weeks to years (seismic/earthquake-type
experiments). This just wasn't a handy thing to have happen. If only
a simple install of Leopard would have worked... :)
