Or, apparently, into a many-step process :-). Though, even when it
works properly, isn't it "start the app I wanted to start, then close
the random xterm that pops up"? Isn't that two-step?
In your case, perhaps, but that's because you've clearly changed
something. In a default, clean Leopard install, it's one step. You
cd to the /usr/X11/bin directory, you launch something like "xcalc",
and you get xcalc. No X server needs to be launched beforehand, no
special knowledge that it's "an X11 app" need be known, it just works
transparently (and while it may be obvious in the case of something
called "xcalc", it may not be obvious at all in the case of some 3rd
party app for, say, modeling 3D molecules where the intended user is
not necessarily even a "computer person").
But, really, what's the *problem* that the launchd approach solves?
See above.
