No idea what could be causing that. Looks like something is affecting X11 and its display file in /tmp, but I don't even know where to start troubleshooting that (plus haven't used ppc/10.5 in probably 7 or 8 years). A system reboot might help clean up the launch display directories in /tmp, but I can't offer any help beyond that. Also, if using any window manager besides Apple's quartz-wm, try to simplify your .xinitrc (or even move it to test against a clean startup).
