yeah, this sounds to me like your org.x.startx LaunchAgent isn't
running for some reason. Please tell me the output of:
launchctl list | grep org.x.startx
And please reply to the list as well, so others can help you too.

All Aqua apps work. It is only the X11 that fails, and the apps that
depend on it.

I have installed the Xquartz-2.3.1. I got to 10.5.5 by installing
10.5.0 from DVD, then using Software update to get to 1) 10.5.4

not set the DISPLAY variable. It is currently set to /tmp/launch-
CmrQkT/:0.
Ok, that's correct.
So what happens when you just run 'xterm' from Terminal.app?
What about if you start X11 from its icon (or running 'open -a X11'
from a bash prompt)?
These do nothing. No Xterm, no response. I had to kill the job with
control-c
I do have a .profile defined, linked to .bashrc via a symbolic
link. iTerm and Terminal both hang when trying to source
the .profile (or maybe .bashrc) and do not resume until I issue a
Control-C to kill the offending process.
This seems like a pretty bad problem to me. You should really
figure out what process is hanging, looping, or otherwise stalling
your profile from being sourced. You might want to check the
output of 'ps x' while this is happening to see the offender.

Here is the ps x output.
