By the way, going with the newer codebase is absolutely the right
thing to do. I'm less sure about launchd; having something that's not
a hostname as the first part of the DISPLAY value seems
not-quite-right to me. But I understand the reasoning behind it.
Could you think about adding a preference which would change the
launchd settings from launch-on-demand to always-running? Maybe the
BSD subsystem needs its own preference pane in System Preferences.
It'd be nice, but 95% of the Mac userbase would wonder what a BSD
was. :)
It's not a preference pane, but have you tried a third-party app
called Lingon? It looks like it can do exactly what you're looking
for -- click System Agents, org.x.X11, and then enable "Run it when it
is loaded by the system (at startup or login)". All that does is add
an "on-demand=false" key to X11's launchd.plist.
Anyway, I just wanted to suggest that the standard X11.app could
run the user's .xinitrc if it exists, instead of running xterm to
start the server.
You should be able to just run /usr/X11/X11.app instead of /Apps/Utils/
X11.app. It's hidden away because if you launch it manually, the
launch-on-demand functionality won't work -- but if that doesn't
bother you, that's the way to go.
