I have similar problems, using XQuartz 2.2.3 with Mac OS X 10.5.3 on PPC
and Intel.
I am using idl with Aquamacs idlwave.

I found that the mouse buttons work, if X11 is started by idl. However, in
this case the window manager closing buttons do NOT work or let even crash
idl. You could try to use Terminal for idl to avoid the early start of
X11. Caution, under Leopard DISPLAY should NOT be defined!

I think X11 under Leopard is still problematic but also related to the idl
implementation. These mouse problems I don't have with other X11 related
programs like Gimp or Inkscape.

Regards
Karsten
