I like to bundle my applications but when I set the display to say :0 (eg. rxvt -display :0) then the launcher does not start X11 or it pops up an extra xterm, depending if it is a script or a bundle. Of course I can rewrite all my scripts and bundles so that they do not contain display :0 however it would be nice if the launcher was smarter about it so I would not have to remember all these special Mac-only details.
There is no longer any need to ever launch X11 yourself. The system is set up through launchd configuration such that whenever any application tries to use X11 resources, the server is started if it is not already running. If it is already running, the new application is simply connected to that existing server.
There is one fundamental problem with this approach. And that is that depending on your application, and how much of a power user you are, you may not even be able to find the X application.
