Why are you CCing fink-users?

Anyways, where are you seeing that 'xterm*foreground:: command not found' ??? That's just weird.

As for the .app I gave you, do you get any error message if you run it from a terminal? That is, open a terminal and execute:

/path/to/Xterm.app/Contents/MacOS/Xterm

When I double click on the Xterm.app from your tarball I get a bouncing terminal on dock then it goes away and no xterm is started

Well, you can start it up the way you were before you used the Xterm.app

As for 'xterm*foreground:: command not found' ... what are you doing that you see that?

All you should need to do is unpack that tarball and run the Xterm.app that it creates. That just runs those commands without opening a Terminal window.

Before leopard, I used to start X11.app, and with apple-n start multiple xterm windows.

Now, as advised, I first tried terminal.app, but I still want to use xterm. Is there an easy way to

So I linked xterm to /Application, however everytime I start an xterm, it also start a background terminal.app! The same for a script containing "xterm -e ssh myserver.example.com"

How can I
1) Start xterm (with colors set) without an background terminal app, new fashion way?
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:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/x11-apple/ Xterm.app.tar.bz2

I've been forming some ideas on how to possibly combat this race (none of which are extremely elegant), but they're not very well formulated yet. For now, hopefully things like this will work as a workaround.
