So widget programs work for you? Not just starting a widget app, but
interacting with it? This was my problem when I upgraded to Leopard
with IDL 6.4. Upgrading to IDL 6.4.1 (or IDL 7.0) fixed it.

With Leopard, you can supposedly not set the DISPLAY variable and
everything will be OK. With the updates at http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz,
things are working for me. I'm not sure you're going to get IDL 6.3
working with Leopard, but you'll want the X11 updates in any case.
