You guys are real X gurus! Everything is working now, including

without telling us about it, and/or providing scripts that would ask
us what we wanted to do with the X system in the first place. They
seem to assume (with Leopard) that every Mac stands alone, never
connecting to anything else.
That'd be false; they expect you to practice safe computing and use
ssh's X11 forwarding instead of rlogin(! --- most people turn that off
these days, it's about as secure as storing your front door key in the
door's keyhole) and direct connection.
