So, I have my path set in terminal so I can launch x-apps from there,

in a general way, I sort of understand why. But can anyone give me a
more detailed explanation, and is there a workaround that would allow
terminal windows that were up previously to "just work" once x11.app
is running?
hm... It would be _really cool if trying to launch an x application in
a terminal window either automatically launched X, or gave a dialog
asking if we really did want to launch X! :) That would be awesome!
Apple, you listening? :)
If I understand correctly, you are saying that you:
1) open a terminal window "A"
2) launch X11
3) run xterm in terminal "A" - this fails
4) open a terminal window "B"
5) run xterm in terminal "B" - this succeeds
Is this correct? If so, I don't understand how this could happen. Do
you have the DISPLAY environment variable set in terminal A? In
terminal B? What error do you get when an X application fails to
launch?
