Is the install DVD you used the original for your machine? The mac- intel X11 is NOT the same as the mac-ppc X11, it seems perhaps you
may have installed the wrong one. Though apple doesn't provide X11
for download [maybe they hope to sell more upgrade disks this way??
or just are not too keen on making it easy to use non-quartz
apps??] it can be found hosted by some generous souls if you
google, I found it for a friend who needed it for Gimp recently,
she did not have her original disks anywhere handy, and the only
copy I had was for ppc.
