I updated X11R7.4. In app/xinit/privileged_startx/client.c still
bootstrap_strerror() is used, no case for Tiger prepared.
What do you mean by that?
That a function bootstrap_strerror() is used. It's not defined in  
Tiger. You patched xserver à la:

	#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= 1050
	        fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %s\n",  
bootstrap_strerror(kr));
	#else
	        fprintf(stderr, "bootstrap_look_up(): %ul\n", (unsigned long) 
kr);
	#endif
...
...
I configured xorg-server 1.4.2-apple27 without launchd support.
xorg-server doesn't use launchd at all... That's all in xinit.
The configure script in app/xinit does not know anything of launchd.  
Only xserver's configure mentions this option, as far as I have found.
...
...
After installation without any support via sudo it launched out of
the X11R6 based Terminal environment with updated ~/.MacOSX/
environment.plist and ~/.xinitrc files. Stopping it did not seem to
work, the icon in dock told it had no connection.

...
After applying the recent security patch I'll reboot and see further.
recent security patch?  I'm not sure what you mean.

Clovis' Consideration of an Atmospheric Anomaly:
         The perversity of nature is nowhere better demonstrated
         than by the fact that, when exposed to the same atmosphere,
         bread becomes hard while crackers become soft.
