It seems like a design issue. The idea of using launchd to start the
X server is an interesting one, but it adds more of the start-up
uncertainty OS X is already famous for. The original design of X11
was that xinit started the X server, then one or more clients, and was
run only once. The /usr/X11/X11.app code seems to do very much the
same thing; why not get rid of the launchd server-starter and just
have the client execute X11.app to get a working system? What problem
is the launchd approach solving?
