So replace the above two lines by
if [ -x /usr/libexec/path_helper ]; then
eval `/usr/libexec/path_helper -s`
fi
ensure you have (the semicolon is my shell prompt):
; cat /etc/paths
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
; cat /etc/paths.d/X11
/usr/X11/bin
and I expect things to be better.

Not at all. We are many people here on the list happily running X11
on Leopard. Well, the amount of happiness may vary, but still ...
You did mention you have installed the latest X11 package from
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz, right? So you have this:
; pkgutil --pkg-info org.x.X11.pkg
package-id: org.x.X11.pkg
version: 2.1.4
volume: /
location: ./
install-time: <whatever>
Note that if you have upgraded to 10.5.2 after installing this
package, you will have to reinstall it.
