While I don't see your problems here, so I have no idea where they come 
from, there is something that you could test:

The Apple engineer maintaining X11 on Leopard is providing bug-fixed 
versions of the X server Xquartz and of libX11.6.dylib here:
<http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin>

Maybe installing these helps with some of your problems, too.
