I'm at work at the moment and am unable to reproduce this till I get home, but I had an issue with Spaces/Expose/X11 over the weekend that may not have been reported yet - although the bug is probably part of the same package deal. Note that I have NOT played with the new X11 2.2.0 yet. I was using Spaces/Expose/X11 and then switched to another user account using fast user switching. When I returned to the original user account where I was doing Spaces/Expose/X11 I noticed a bunch of new phantom "dark" windows in the X11 space that definitely weren't there before switching to the other user when I did an Expose event. When hovering the mouse over those dark Expose windows there was no text indicating what the windows were. Spooky...

Spaces does not work well with X11. The exposé issue is fixed as of
2.2.0_rc1. You do not have 2.1.4 installed on your system. Your X11
was downgraded when you installed the 10.5.2 or security update.
Please be aware that you will need to reinstall X11 after OS updates
if you want to stay current.
