Why not just have it do what this guy asks and launch X11 without
xterm (or anything else) if app_to_run in org.x.X11_launcher.plist is
a null string?

Do what I do:
defaults write org.x.X11 app_to_run /usr/bin/true
Yes, it is now org.x.X11 and not org.x.X11_launcher. I forgot to
add
that to the release notes. I will soon.
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.
Yeah, as I've mentioned here before, I am fairly new to objc, .nibs,
and Apple's UI API (as in I've barely ever used it). Most of my GUI
work has been in Qt. As such, I'm not planning on touching that
area of the code unless it's a simple hack until I *really* need
to. If someone wants to volunteer to do stuff like that, I'm all
for it. Just one note:
Apple by design wants a minimal preference pane. If you want to go
down this road, we'll need to have it controlled as an expert mode
enabled via 'defaults write org.x.X11 expert_preferences 1' or
something similar
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.
Probably =) _______________________________________________
