So, there was a parse error in the xml file for sparkle, so the 2.4.0_beta5 update probably never appeared. I fixed the parse error ("<title" instead of "<title>" ><) and you should all see the popup sometime in the next day or so (I think Sparkle rechecks every 24 hours).
The automatic update has one issue that I don't like... while doing the install, you can not use X11. I opened a question to the Sparkle devs about this on Launchpad if anyone wants to join in the discussion (or knows the answer):

Jeremy, The beta5 upgrade with Sparkle is working fine here. Have you considered extending the Xorg Sparkle code to allow it to be automatically triggered in the case where a system Software Update has replaced X11 files from the current Xquartz release with those from an older release? This would be a very useful feature since many users may forget to reinstall Xorg after the system Software Updates are installed. Jack
The problem is that the SU-installed X11 will not have Sparkle in it, so there's no way to really trigger that. X11.bin is linked against the Sparkle framework, and if that gets replaced by a SU... well... then there would be a new binary in place that won't run sparkle... This problem should be moot in 10.6. The current .pkgs won't work with SnowLeopard. After I ship the 2.4.0 update for Leopard (thanks for testing, btw), I'm going to focus on building a 2.4.0 update for SnowLeopard as well. It will install in /opt/X11, /A/U/XQuartz.app, and /Library/Launch* (to take precedence over /S/L/Launch*). Comments? Suggestions? Thoughts?
