It would be nice if Apple honoured the claim they make on their X11

This works fine for me. I just tried it with oclock and it started up
X11 and off it went. Could it be that you were trying to click on a
shell script or some other program that then later starts the x11 app.
In that case there is no way for finder to know that an x application
is starting, it can only look at the app that it is launching itself.
The problem with xemacs is that usually the file named "xemacs" is a
symlink to the real executable which has a name like xemacs-21.5.9.
Unfortunately, Apple's automatic X11 recognition works neither for
symlinks nor for executables that have a name with dots in it and no
standard extension. If you rename "xemacs-21.5.9" to something like
"xemacs2159", then the Finder will recognize it as an X11 application
and open it on double-click.
