If I start an xterm in Terminal.app, X11 will start as expected, but oddly,
the xterm will not display until I quit X11.app (by clicking it on the Dock,
then using cmd-q) and it restarts. Once this restart has taken place, the
xterm will open, and other X apps will be able to use the display.

I've had a couple of reports of this -- sometimes it causes X11 to start chewing up 100% of the CPU time, sometimes it seems to just hang. Sometimes it works, too! Really!


Feel free to file a bug report. I'm looking into it, but can't say what's causing it -- maybe some sort of race condition?

The fix is then to either quit X11, and have it restart while trying to
start an xterm, or to delete .Xauthority and start over. Now, also oddly,
sometimes I get this:


$ xterm
X connection to /tmp/launch-YkJO02/:0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).


This message is harmless -- it's just xterm informing you that the reason it died was that you killed the X server.
