Re: Eliminating the xterm

Hmm I wonder if it makes sense to start xclipboard as the 'default' X11 app?

There was some discussion in this list a bit ago about the desirability of running it to 'help' cut and paste..

Oops!  That should be app_to_run instead of app_to_launch.

Just in case anybody else has the same question.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
you're free to launch X11.app by hand if you find the current approach
problematic. Change the initial xterm to xlsfonts if you don't like
having to close that window every time. 

Can you explain how to do this? As far as I can tell, starting up
/usr/X11/bin/xterm is compiled into
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11


defaults write org.x.X11_launcher app_to_launch /usr/X11/bin/xlsfonts

xlsclients might be an even better choice, since it doesn't hit the
filesystem or produce any output when you use it to launch the server.
