Martin,
What I am looking for is a way to suppress the unwanted
xterms from launching during the lifetime of the execution of
the specific x11 program via its startup script. Your suggestion
of...
defaults write org.x.X11_launcher app_to_run /usr/X11/bin/xlsclients
is suboptimal for this purpose since it would change the users current
default X11.app settings afterwards. I am trying to avoid that. Also I am
still rather confused about the following behavior. When executing
pymol for the first time via the Terminal application, X11.app is
launched and the pymol main graphics window appears but without
launching an xterm first. Only when the second tkinter gui window
appears does the xterm launch. It would seem we have two distinct
behaviors here. When launched from a Terminal window, the xterm
is suppressed but when launched from a x11 program, the xterm isn't
suppressed. Also, X11.app is already running when the xterm appears
before the tkinter gui window. Shouldn't X11.app realize it is
already running when pymol opens its tkinter gui window and
suppress the attempt to open an xterm. That is, the launch mechanism
for x11 programs via X11.app should automatically suppress an
additional attempts to launch clients if X11.app is already running.
Jack
