I came across some stuff (I have thankfully forgotten the URL)
advising how one can remove the faulty X11 from Leopard and restore
the more robust Tiger X11 from the 10.4 install disks.
In the process I bollocksed things so badly I had to completely
reinstall OS X 10.5 in order to restore the various config files so
X11 would actually start up. It took only an hour or so and
thankfully I could do the reinstall without losing any of my
existing data files.
I have updated my X11 with Xquartz 1.2a6 as directed. Apart from
the doubling of the X11 icons in the dock and the annoying "command
timed out" message if I start OOo without starting X11 first, all
seems well again, and I will leave things alone.
Take home message: kids, don't do this at home unless you are an
X11 advanced user. I obviously am not.
That sounds like a good warning. As further encouragement, Ben
Byer, Apple's X11 coder, has released now 1.2a7 with an easier
install method. Leslie Wright: when you did the update to 1.2a6, did
you see any text document indicating the changes in the various
versions [I'm still on Tiger]?
