No no. They don't use an xterm. They don't even see an xterm. They
don't know what an xterm is. All they do is click on the X11 icon in
the dock to either start X11 or just get the menu to show up,
select a
pull-down menu item from the X11 Applications menu (just like in
every
other program on the planet these days) and get to work.
Now they have to have icons laying all over the place for the
inventory
system, the accounting system, etc.? That's not an improvement.
They should be able to save a step now, and just click on the X11
application in the finder.

??? How will they select which program/server they want to connect
to? They don't run anything on their Mac except start X11 and select
a menu item which ssh'es them into another machine/account where the
'inventory system', or whatever, resides. Are we all talking about
the same thing?
Just clicking on the X11 icon doesn't get them anywhere. It just
starts X11 and now brings up an xterm which they have no use for, and
in whose Applications menu I can no longer put commands like ssh -X -
Y email@hidden -OR- xterm -geometry 80x50+100+100 -
rightbar -sb -bg "black" -fg "yellow" -cr "orange" -rv -fa Monaco -fs
13 -e ssh -Y email@hidden? How do I replace that
functionality? It's gone or hiding somewhere. I'm not going to type
all of that stuff every time I want to do something, and having a
bunch of scripts/icons laying around to run each variation of the ssh
command to get into different machines is pretty silly.
