If I close the xterm (that X11 opens when it starts - I do not need

did you modify your .xinitrc to run xterm as the last program? In 10.3
the X server quits when .xinitrc exits (which is how most other
systems work). To get the old behavior back execute "defaults write
com.apple.x11 xinit_kills_server -boolean false" in a shell then
restart X11.
John,
Thanks. This seems to work fine.

reasons why I would not want this behavior?]
