I'm not sure why these are just being delivered now (since it looks like they sent last year). But to summarize:
$HOME has a space and a single quote. This causes problems in many places and should be avoided. This fix went into XQuartz-2.5.0 last year.

I would boot from the installer CD and run disk utility or start up in single user mode and run fsck -fy. Reinstall X11 and in Terminal.app delete any .serverauth. files in your home directory: rm -i ~/.serverauth.* (the -i makes the system ask you to confirm deleting each file)
