Turns out open-x11 is just a bash script that calls "open -a X11" on
arguments you pass, one at a time.
It took some re-arranging of my code, because environment variables
that are set prior to running open are not retained. But I
eventually got it to work.
Thanks!

Hi. I am writing a X11 application launcher that does the following:
1. Launch X11 if it is not already launched
2. Set the DISPLAY environment variable
3. Set some other environment variables
4. Launch the X11 application
All is well, except for step 2, where I need to figure out the user's
X11 display (:0, :1, etc.). I see that if I do a grep for X11, one
of the X11 instances will tell me the the display on the command-line
it was started with, but that seems inelegant to me.
Is there a better way?
Run /usr/bin/open-x11? :-)
Cheers,
Chris
