Be sure it isn't sitting as the last item in Applications/Utilities. 
(double-check, since that is where it would have installed 
'natively'.)

I trashed all of my /Library/Receipts, so i can't check there to see 
if that's where the pkg receipt is, but that would be my first choice 
as far as a likely spot. (System/Library contains no 'Receipts' 
directory, but the ~/Library does, so check the home library, even 
though there is no way it would be loaded there).

There are soft links to X11 in the /usr/include and /usr/lib 
directories, but they wouldn't even be seen by the installer, nor 
taken as evidence of anything.

My guess is either: It's in the Apps/Utilities and was overlooked, or 
the receipt is in /Library/Receipts.

The 'receipts' are mostly useless. i'm here with zero receipts, just 
ran software update, and it said, "Your software is up to date". So, 
maybe a receipt is screwng up the installer. one more good reason to 
trash the receipts. My .02

And forget Spotlight, heheh, use FileBuddy or XFile. You can't beat 
unix-savvy search, which the Finder and Spotlight definitely are NOT.
