I had exactly the same problem. The solution is to reinstall X11 - I'm willing to bet you had the latest X11 and then updated to 10.5.3. After these Apple updates, you need to reinstall X11.
Which brings me to related comments that I just posted just this morning in another thread:

I'm not going to repeat those comments here because then two threads might be going on about the same thing.
