This reminds me of something. Before launchd support, the standard
way to check whether a script is running in X (that is, whether X is
*already* up) is to check whether $DISPLAY is defined. Now that
assumption is wrong. This means that launchd support has broken
backward compatibility in a very fundamental level.
(I would bet that this is why .bash_profile or .bashrc is running X
programs—because $DISPLAY is set so it assumes that it *should*
run those X programs.)
Just a thought...
