In my case it seems to be related to the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix.
Apparently the owner should be root, but in my case when it is
created the owner is the logged in user, and yes for me the problem
started occurring after upgrading to 10.4.
Cheers, Shane.

Well, this suggest has worked for me, at least for one day now. I
removed the reference to /sw/bin/init.csh that the fink install put
in my .tcshrc file (I'm using tcsh). I just put the /sw/bin and /sw/
lib references directly in my .tcshrc file and so far I had no more
disappearing xterms or xterms with different font sizes. I haven't
had time to 'debug' why. If anyone wants to look at the file I can
send it.
Thanks,
Scott Buchanan

This sounds like the same behavior I was seeing with Terminal.app.
Your shell is dying on creation, and when the shell goes away, so
does
the terminal window. I can no longer find the article on this, but I
haven't had the problem in a while. I used to have every other shell
crash, but I changed Terminal.app to directly call /bin/zsh
instead of
going through login and I seem to remember that helping. Look for
something with Terminal.app and [process completed] on google for
more
information.
I've seen something similar under X11 on redhat a few years ago. It
happened if there were errors in either .bashrc or .profile (or the
equivalents for your $SHELL). Might be worth just checking those
are okay, and any programs or utilities they run aren't causing
problems. I'd also look in the system ones just to be safe
and .xinitrc as well.
Just a thought.
