I haven’t been the only one annoyed by the problems with X11 in MacOS X 10.5 Leopard. I’m lucky enough to only really be depending on X11 out of habit rather than need, though. Folks who do depend on it have now managed to put together a new build of Xquartz, the library that interfaces X11 to the Macintosh Quartz drawing engine. The new build solves some of the problems people have been encountering.

You can find a rundown of issues involving X11 and Leopard on MacOS X Hints forums.

Yay open source! And, this all makes me feel a bit old.
