My workflow was very similar - I personally used iTerm for all of my
terminal needs, even with X applications, and am now back to
Terminal.app in Leopard.

I agree - X isn't an 'Application' per se, so much as a means of
running applications. Personally I think a better UI solution might be
to set LSUIElement to true, and not have X11 appear in the Dock at
all. Instead, perhaps a MenuBar item, where we could get basic
feedback to see if the X server is running (light grey == not
launched, dark grey == running) and have the shortcut menu to X
applications and settings available by clicking the icon. Am I alone
in thinking this might be a more consistent interface?
