Aha, that's exactly what I was looking for. And it works as
advertised. Now my main use of X11 works perfectly. Thanks for your
work on this.
It might be nice to provide a UI in the Preference window which allows
a terminal-fearful user to set app_to_run.
As for why Matlab uses 'open -a X11.app', I have no idea. It seems to
be a bit of a mess to be honest. And it uses a launcher app, just as
Leopard X11 used to. Perhaps they would benefit from looking at your
recent updates.
Cheers,
Ben
