This is the first pre-release of 2.5.0 that has been built for both Leopard and SnowLeopard. The Leopard version still installs to /usr/X11 and X11.app while the SL version installs to /opt/X11 and XQuartz.app to avoid the Software Update collisions that were so common in the Leopard days.

Jeremy,
I installed the X11-2.5.0-rc1 release from the Leopard dmg on
a QuickSilver G4 and have noticed one oddity. Without rebooting yet,
whenever I select the "About X11" dialog from the X11 application,
which is launched when starting x windows programs, it reports...
Xquartz 2.4.0 (xorg-server 1.5.3-apple14)
Is this just a typo in the strings of this for this release?
Other than this issue, pymol seems to run fine under this release
without any regressions in its demos on a Radeon 9600 graphics
card.
