I tried reinstalling XQuartz, but no improvement. I don’t particularly want to 
run with SIP completely off, but maybe I’ll have to until this is resolved. 
I’ll wait until it’s a big problem. What I don’t understand is why ls works in 
my home directory, but not any of the subdirectories.

I upgraded to Catalina and now I’m getting “Operation not permitted” when doing 
a simple “ls” command in my Desktop directory. Oddly enough, “ls" works fine in 
my home directory, just not any directories below that. I understand this is a 
casualty of the new SIP settings. I tried giving XQuartz full disk access in 
the privacy settings, but that didn’t help. Any ideas?

Have you tried re-installing XQuartz?  That's my go-to solution for
permissions issues, and I typically find that I have to do it after
any major OS upgrade.

FWIW, I've had no problems with XQuartz under Catalina, except for
having to do the aforementioned reinstall.  But I run with SIP off
(for reasons unrelated to X11), so maybe that's not a relevant
data point for you.
