You've got it backwards. The real /usr/X11/X11.app is launched in
response to the xterm's connection request. The xterm is started by
/Applications/Utilities/X11.app, which is a fancy app wrapper that's
basically equivalent to typing "xterm" in Terminal.app. Rename
/A/U/X11.app to XTerm.app and it may help you keep things straight.
