Let me try to answer myself. I guess the socket must be created during the the bootup, which could explain much of my confusion. I thought that that the xterm call gets somehow intercepted by the system and which then via launchd starts the X11 server and creates the socket. But I guess it is actually the creation of the socket during the system boot that enables the launch. Is this correct?

Ooh, I think I know the answer to this one! I believe it's because
launchd only understands the /tmp/launchd-xxxxx/:0 socket.
