Ben,
One example where the xterm starting up is undesired
behavior is in the X11 build of pymol. Currently the
pymol package built as pymol-py25 under fink exhibits
the following behavior. If you start 'pymol' from the
Terminal application, the X11 application starts up
and the initial pymol window appears without an
associated xterm. The output issued on startup of
pymol properly appears in the Terminal window where
pymol was started. However when the tkinter gui window
with pymol's menus appears, an xterm is started first.
This caused the original pymol graphics window to be
below the xterm which in turn is below the tkinter
gui window that opens. So an unwanted xterm to layered
in between the two windows of pymol.
I had the impression that Apple was attempting to
depreciate use of xterm windows such that the user should
be doing their terminal work in the Terminal applications
windows. Isn't that really the case?
