Ahh, I remembered you can run Tiger's X11 with the xorg 
X11R6 stuff.  So I grabbed the Tiger X11 update, installed 
it as per these instructions 
http://lists.apple.com/archives/x11-users/2007/Nov/msg00005.html 
after moving fink's xorg X11R6 aside, then swapped it back 
in.

And the cursor is fine (with the yellow cursor fix in place, 
I already put that into fink's X11R6 earlier).  But 
cut'n'paste only works from Aqua -> X  (it works both 
directions with XDarwin).  I'll see if I can improve that 
with some different settings.  (I seem to recall something 
about quartz-wm --proxy-only as well as autocutsel, which 
got the aqua->X paste working).  And the windows open with a 
vertical offset to leave room for the menu bar (non-existant 
with my window manager) but I can work around that.

And trivial but curious, the "root pixel" is back (in the 
bottom right corner).  That was present in Tiger for XDarwin 
too, but not Leopard.  (I'm using qiv to set my background 
picture and I thought it was a qiv artifact until it went 
away under Leopard.)

Finger's crossed this is now a viable "production" set up 
for my needs until things develop a bit further with the 
Leopard X11.

cheers,
