I have just installed the latest Xquartz update (v2.2.3) on my laptop (intel macbook pro running 10.5.3). At work I use my macbook pro in "lid-down" mode whilst plugged into an external monitor. In the new version I am no longer able to launch X applications from the apple terminal (e.g. typing nedit &) unless I explictly set the DISPLAY to :1.0 (by default I have DISPLAY=:0.0 from somewhere, though I don't set it in my .profile so I assume this is set by the system somehow).

You shouldn't be setting DISPLAY anywhere in Leopard, it gets set automatically. You need to find where it sets the DISPLAY variable in your .bashrc/.profile etc and remove that.
