X11 does not run under Mac OS X 10.5.2?

Symptoms:
After upgrading X11 to version 2.0 from the Leopard installation DVD, MATLAB R14 (2007) stopped working properly. This is an issue reported by several people elsewhere. The X11 system itself does not start.

What helped:
After that installation of X11 from the Leopard DVD, I went to XQuartz Project, downloaded X11 version 2.1.4 from there, and installed it over X11 version 2.0. 
After the reboot that is required by 2.1.4 installer, everything works fine for me: 
MATLAB starts and works, and X11 itself also starts without problems.
