The latest X11 package from macosforge has libpng version 27.0.0 but  
10.5.3 has 25.0.0. So if you previously installed the macosforge  
package and then updated to 10.5.3, libpng (and other things) will get  
downgraded. You must reinstall X11-2.2.1.pkg after updating. In fact,  
once you've installed X11 from macosforge, you should always reinstall  
it after any system upgrade since the version Apple includes is not  
quite the latest. One of the penalties of using the latest and  
greatest. :)
