there is a rather pessimistic thread on the CCP4 bulletin board for crystallography about Leopard's missing 3D capability, including a cross-posting by Warren DeLano on the PyMOL bulletin board. The missing 3D is the only reason why I still can't use Leopard on my Mac Pro (Tiger's X11 under Leopard behaves erroneously in 3D). Many scientists really rely upon this 3D ability for their daily work. I've seen that the roadmap of XQuartz schedules the fixing of the broken 3D for version 2.3.1 with major priority. This is good - I think, the earlier this error can be fixed, the better this would be for Apple's reputation in the scientific community.

I find it interesting that the notion of running Tiger's X11 on Leopard, which has been discussed in detail and is more than adequately documented here:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2007/Nov/msg00005.html
Which you can find as part of the X11 FAQ here:  http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/X11/index.html (see "To bring back Tiger's X11").

I'm not saying that this is as straight-forward as most people would like, or that it should even be necessary, but it's been pretty well documented by the X11 community and somehow went right past these folks...
