Actually, it is. Your DISPLAY needs to be set to a value starting
with "/tmp/launch-" (Mac OS does that for you). If it is not, one of
your files is changing it, and your Leopard X11 will continue to cause
problems.

Well, maybe, but I *did* direct you to check your .profile file, and

If you try 'echo DISPLAY' and it responds with ':0.0' then you still
haven't found the problem, which for me was found in .profile.
DarwinPorts under Tiger modified my .profile, and when I upgraded to
Leopard, this file remained untouched, even though the line is
unnecessary. According to sao, the moderator over at
macosxhints.com, if you DON'T get a DISPLAY value starting with '/
tmp/launchd' then "you're setting $DISPLAY in some of your
configuration files and ... throwing away the location of the
launchd socket that X clients need to know how to use."
When I updated to 2.2.3, the problem didn't go away; it only cleared
up when I removed that line in .profile.
I use tcsh and not bash, so I don't have a .profile. The
corresponding files are .tcshrc and .login. If I check the DISPLAY
variable, it is not set, so that is NOT the problem.
But thanks anyway.
