What other X11 versions have you tried?  Like X11-tiger?

I don't know 100% that this would solve the problem, but I suspect doing this would work:

rm -rf /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6
Install X11User.pkg from Leopard's DVD (I think it's in Optional Installs.mpkg or something similar)
Install X11SDK.pkg from X-Code
Install the update from xquartz.macosforge.org (2.1.1 or 2.1.2 which should be out soon)

Before you reinstall these packages, it is a good idea to run

  sudo --forget com.apple.pkg.X11DocumentationLeo
  sudo --forget com.apple.pkg.X11User
  sudo --forget com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo
  sudo --forget org.x.X11.pkg

This gives the Apple installer less excuses to forget to install certain files, as it has been known to do.
