Re: X11 startup in Leopard

I dont think this question has been directly answered:

When X11 starts up, it displays an xterm. I want to change the settings used for that xterm, so that it works like
xterm -ls -sb +cm -rightbar -sl 1000 -geometry 132x50+20+40&

Under Tiger, this could be done by editing .xinitrc
This strategy does not work the same in Leopard.

So, how DO I set this up? 

One possibility:

Replace
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11
by an executable text file containing the 2 lines

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/X11/bin/xterm -ls -sb +cm -rightbar -sl 1000 -geometry 132x50+20+40

In the same way you can get rid of the xterm altogether, if you take as second line something like

exec /usr/X11/bin/xhost
