2) Create a script, that only opens an xterm, not also a background terminal?

Are subsequent executions of /A/U/X11.app giving you an xterm with your desired colors? Can you try something like this:


---
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/login -fp $(whoami) /usr/X11/bin/xlsclients
sleep 3
/usr/bin/login -fp $(whoami) /usr/X11/bin/xterm &

I've wrapped it up in a convenient app bundle for you to try and placed it here:
