I upgraded Xcode and downloaded the new version of XQuartz compatible with SL and then started to have problems : X11 (the Apple native code) does not start at all (it bounces a long time, then stop and no dot appears below it but cmd+alt+esc window shows the application as "active". If I start XQuartz instead, same process : long bouncing, then stop, visible in the cmd+alt+esc window but nothing appears. After about two hours, though, it finally comes to life (and a second picture of the applet appears in the Dock!). Once XQuartz runs, I can launch X11 "normally" (without delay) and both work fine.

What do you mean by that? What is your login shell (what do you see when you do 'echo $SHELL')?
Please do the following:
mkdir ~/bak
mv ~/.profile ~/bak
mv ~/.bash_profile ~/bak
mv ~/.bashrc ~/bak
mv ~/.login ~/bak
mv ~/.cshrc ~/bak

The problem exists since I moved to SL and the ia32/intel64 appeared six months later when I reinstalled the new ifort compiler (the previous one had library incompatibilities with SL but was not giving this ia32,intel64 message). It is a small nuisance because it does not prevent ifort to run so I did not bother to try to fix it but it is linked to the ifort resource file.
Yeah, it sounds like your login environment is broken. You are likely trying to start an X11 application from within your shell login scripts, and that is causing X11 to not start.
