OK. How about for consistencies sake if we go back to having it

No. You're missing the point. When the server starts, no
applications run (except quartz-wm).
If it ain't there it should not start.
Right, it doesn't.
There ya go, consistent with previous behavior. User controllable.
Best of both worlds.
It is consistent "with both worlds". Launching X11.app from the dock
or running 'open -a X11' just runs xterm (or whatever you have for
app_to_run). That's all. Yes, maybe it should've been called
Xterm.app, but it's not. This was a good decision made by Apple to
integrate with launchd.
If you want to launch the X server by hand and don't want any
application to start, then set app_to_run to /usr/bin/true. Simple.
Consistency with old behavior. Compatibility with other software.
Options to change what you want.
