Is X11 part of Leopard Installation or do you still need to install it from the original Installation CD? And if already installed is there anything I need to run to get it to run with program like "GIMP"? Thanks!

I don't believe it's installed by default. You'll have to install it off the original Leopard Installer.
 
Thanks! I couldn't remember since I knew you had to do that in "Tiger" but was not sure if it was automatically installed in Leopard.

Leopard includes version 2.0 of their X11 package. You will want to upgrade this; it contains many bugs.

Get the 2.1.3 Xquartz package.

Also, a little birdie told me that 10.5.2 will have many of the Xquartz 2.1.3 patches in it. So you could just wait for 10.5.2 and see if that's sufficient.

?? I don't understand your question?

I know if you purchase a retail box of leopard, and run clean installation, click "next" through the process, you will end up with X11.

It is checked by default if you click the customize button during the installation and take a look at the default components to be installed.
