Ben, that's a nice theory, but the "client" I want to run is my
.xinitrc file.  (Where *did* xinit disapppear to?)

I think I've come to terms with having launchd run the server, but it
shouldn't start up X11.app.  That's an app, and should be started by
the user, whether they do in their Login Items, or explicitly by
clicking on it.
