I did a fresh install of Mac OS X Leopard yesterday, fully updated. When I try to run the X11 app it just wont open. The Dock "twitches" as if if the X11 icon is been added but disappears again. I've tried re-installing X11 from my Leopard Disk. Anyone got any ideas?
Here is what console says, there might be duplicates here cos once I try to open X11, it keeps trying until I shutdown

Try installing a newer X11 release from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/Releases.
