I'm trying to revert my X11 installation back to X11 2.0, as provided in
the Leopard installation disk, but I'm having a lot of problems getting
things back in shape.
Here's what I've done:
*) Following the "Messed it up, got confused, want to start over?"
instructions at
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ, i.e.,
blew away /usr/X11*, /Applications/Utilities/X11.app, and did the
pkgutil --forget song-and-dance.
*) Reinstalled X11User from disk (this time, I did not install the SDK,
but all I'm trying to do is get the bloody X server up).
*) Ran a permissions repair in DiskUtility -- no issues of consequence
in any of the above directories, though there was an unexpected ACL on
/Application/Utilities.
*) rebooted (numerous times)

You need to bring back the original
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.X11.plist
This file was installed by the Essentials.pkg from your system
installation and overwritten by the xquartz update pkg. It is *not*
contained in X11User.pkg or X11SDK.pkg.
I think (but no guarantee!) that the original content was the following,
so you could also just fix it using a text editor:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";
>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key><string>org.x.X11</string>
<key>Program</key><string>/usr/X11/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11</string>
<key>Sockets</key>
<dict>
<key>:0</key>
<dict><key>SecureSocketWithKey</key><string>DISPLAY</string></dict>
</dict>
<key>ServiceIPC</key><true/>
</dict>
</plist>
