Probably not without screwing around with the guts of Apple's X11.app
(which might be a license violation anyway? not sure if you'd have to
mess
with non-open source components to do this...).
If all you want to do is start X11.app without that xterm, couldn't you
get this with a minimal ~/.xinitrc? I think something as simple as --
echo "quartz-wm" > ~/.xinitrc
I've created an "Aqua app" (bundle?) which is really a Perl/Tk program
is disguise. It's essentially a bash script that uses "open" to ensure
that X11 is running, then open-X11 to start the Perl/Tk app. It's a
generic program used by other users who most likely know nothing of X11
(; I'd like just the Tk MainWindow to appear w/o the xterm (this is
supposed to be a short-term kludge until I can get an AFS token during
login, but that's another story!).
