Problem with X11 2.1.3

Hello,
I just wanted to solve the yellow cursor problem, so I installed X11.app 2.1.3 from 
	http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X112.1.3
Now I have a host of problems:
	* from terminal if I type xclock &, it complains that it can't find the x server and quits (so it doesn't seem like launchd is working... do I have to do something extra for that?)
	*  I still see two X icons, I don't see any /usr/X11/X11.app which is referred to on this page
	* if I ssh to a different machine I can use xcalc& (X11 forwarding both directions) but not emacs.  If I try to click on "options" it crashes X.  Then if I try to start X11.app again, nothing works and I have to restart (probably logout would work).
I upgraded from Tiger and I'm not positive if the Leopard install was using the leopard or the tiger X11.  Since I was confused, I took the advice of the FAQ above and started over following the instructions here:
		http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ
for completeness, this is what I did:
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6
sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11DocumentationLeo sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11User sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo sudo pkgutil --forget org.x.X11.pkg

* Install X11User.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Install/Optional Installs.mpkg

* Install X11SDK.pkg from Leopard's installation DVD, which is in/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/Optional Installs/Xcode Tools/Packages/

* Install the latest X11 package release.

I did that and still no luck.  For good measure, I moved /Library/Applications/X11.app to /Library/Applications/X11_backup.app, and did the full startover directions again.

Ok... so now I still don't get launchd stuff to work, but if I click on X11.app it starts X (still 2 icons).  Again, things seem to work ok until I ssh to another machine and run emacs.... which crashes my X server and I need to logout to get a working X again.  

Any hints would be appreciated.

Kyle
