After upgrading to Leopard quite recently I am getting my system "back to normal" and trying to get used to some of the new features. One of those is Spaces which looks nice but is not very reliable in that sometimes it switches workspace and sometimes it does not. Maybe it is too early to be useful and users need to find some 3rd party replacement for it. The suggestion that helped me with the X11 problem was to install the latest X11.pkg from http://xquartz.macosforge.org/. I had a similar experience.

Then again, I wiped my disk and installed from scratch. However, I recently upgraded the Tiger installation on my parents' Macs and X11 would no longer work on both machines. Doing the trick described at http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=81559 worked for me (replacing org.x.X11.plist with a newer version). Good luck! Philipp P.S.: The new dock and menu bar were pretty much the first things that I changed back as well. There are nice things to say about Leopard, though. Spotlight has become very fast. I no longer use QuickSilver to launch programs, like I did on Tiger. Hey Hans,
