I saved /usr/lib/libXplugin.1.dylib and /usr/bin/quartz-wm as you  
recommended here:

Could you be a bit more specific? What is "Apple SU"? Which install  
DVD do you think of? (I have only the one with Mac OS X 10.5.4 and  
won't buy another version.) And which "combo update" do you think of?  
That to Mac OS X 10.5.8, my recent version of Mac OS X?

Before I reinstall the X11 related packages from the install DVD:  
Should I remove the /usr/X11 and /usr/X11R6\ 1 branches first?

What can I do to make the actual X server from the X11 package launch  
instead of that from MacPorts?
