Gentlemen:
I have been sleuthing what is going on here for two days, and I think
I have the answer:
When I called up Terminal.app or iTerm.app, the process would start,
then hang until I issued a control-C, but the X11 failed to start.
Using Activity Monitor, I saw that TWO xhost processes tried to start.
Killing one allowed both Terminal.app and iTerm.app to continue
sourcing my .profile. In my .profile was a "xhost +" command. Where
the other "xhost" was coming from, I have no idea. However, commenting
the "xhost +" from my .profile allowed the terminal apps to source
my .profile and start the X11 process as necessary. Its late now, so I
will see if this small change was the key to all of it, but the
indications are encouraging.

You've got two X11 processes running. I don't know what you did to
get your system into this weird state, but I suspect it has
something to do with IDL. Please do:
Reboot
Install 2.3.1
Open Terminal.app
Execute '/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11'
what happens? You should see some output in Terminal.app and X11
should start.
Goto another tab in Terminal.app and run 'xterm'. The xterm should
show up.
Quit X11.
In Terminal.app now, just run 'xterm'.

Here it is. Still no luck. I am trying the 10.5.5 combo installer
next for good measure. Failing that. Leopard will be deleted in
favor of 10.4.11, where everything worked well (I still have my old
system cloned on an external HD).

yes, but what does 'launchctl list | grep org.x' show now. I'm
guessing 2577... so I'm confused how 2571 got started.
