Just for the record, and because this does not seem to be explicitly 
written anywhere: There are currently two (and only two) ways to get a 
correctly working X11 back on Leopard:

1) If you are still running 10.5 or 10.5.1 and you need to reinstall 
X11, then install first X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg from the system DVD. 
These two are installed by default with the system and with Xcode, but 
this version of X11 is basically unusable in this form. You need to run 
the 10.5.2 update (which has an update for part of X11) to get a usable 
system. Then install the 2.1.4 update from the macosforge site to get 
some more bug fixes.

2) If you are already on 10.5.2 and you have to reinstall X11, then you 
need to use the following procedure: Install X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg 
from the system DVD. Then install the 2.1.2 (or 2.1.3) update from the 
macosforge site. This gives you an X11 system that is more or less 
equivalent to what you get from the MacOSX 10.5.2 update. Only then 
install the 2.1.4 update.

What has to be avoided is to install the 2.1.4 update directly on top of 
the 10.5.0 X11 version, because this gives non-working headers. It will 
give an X11 version that runs correctly as long as you don't want to 
compile anything that uses X11, but for Fink's purposes it is unsuitable.
