Speaking of strange things. . .
What is the "recommended" way for X DISPLAY to be handled between
Leopard and Tiger?
Obviously since Tiger needs it set. . . and Leopard does not. . . and
if Tiger HAS it set and you SSH to it from a Leopard box (I.E.
laptop) there is no X forwarding magic happening there.
(An no the answer shouldn't be upgrade your Tiger installation to
Leopard ;) )
Thanks,
-Bobby

I think I was doing that because it got me a DISPLAY in terminal, but
I honestly don't remember. Removing it, logging out, and logging in
again allowed X to work normally. (if you can consider the strange
launchd behavior normall..)
Where by "strange" you mean "carefully designed and improved", right?
