I just tried to install it on a clean Leopard machine (i.e. with the  
original Apple X11) and it wouldn't start up X11 when clicking on the  
icon or going into Terminal.app and typing "xterm". Unfortunately the  
machine was not under my control (the sysadmin was hovering over me  
and annoyed that I just broke X11 on the machine), so I didn't have  
much chance to debug why.

Installing 2.1.1 over the top fixed the issue.
