Eh... hmm... this is certainly odd.
What version of X11 were you using before you updated?
The only thing that I could really think this might be related to is
the alpha channel issue which is present in 2.2.3 (and thus in the
10.5.5 version as well). This was fixed in 2.3.1. Have you tried
2.3.1?
If that doesn't work, I'd recommend removing all traces of X11 from
your system:
rm -rf /usr/X11 /System/Library/Launch*/org.x.* /Applications/
Utilities/X11.app
Then install X11User.pkg from your Leopard 10.5 DVD. Then install the
2.1.2 update from xquartz.macosforge.org and let me know if that
works. That shouldn't be too much different than the versions shipped
in 10.5.2, then try updating to 2.1.3, then 2.1.4, then 2.2.0.1, then
2.2.1, then 2.2.3, and tell me which version introduces the problem.

Hello all,
I've been merrily using Varian's VNMR remotely via X11 with a
solaris box for some time, however, today's 10.5.5 X11 update broke
functionality with VNMR. Specifically, there are 3 windows within
VNMR, the "menu"/command window, which works just fine, the
"spectral" window, wherein directories are navagated and spectra are
viewed (which does not work, see below), and the "output" window,
where various informations are displayed (Works fine).
The problem here is that VNMR's spectral window, once full of
information now remains all black despite any file browsing or
spectral viewing activities attempted. I've confirmed that this is
an update problem as several people in my lab have updated, while
others have not, and universally those who have not updated have no
trouble while those who have, always do. I have tried deleting the
com.apple.x11 prefs and tried the tricks found in previous x11-users
posts:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2005/Jan/msg00093.html
(& others from several years ago)
to no avail. I have also tried to downgrade by installing various
different X11 versions from the Xquartz site: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
without any luck.
Does anyone know how to solve this vexing problem? I can't seem to
find any errors in logfiles or the console anywhere unfortunately.
