I want something in my dock that I can click to open X11 if it is not open, and to bring it to the foreground if it is...just like every other application in the dock.
But this is just a minor inconsistency, less annoying than others everybody seems to have got used to. For me the most annoying little inconsistency is that when I open an xterm by typing "xterm" in a Terminal window, the xterm window opens on top of everything and looks like it had focus, but in reality it does not; one first needs to click it. It often happens to me that I have already typed a line of text or one or two commands before I notice that they went into the wrong window... I do find that very annoying, BTW. As do I; Foregrounded out-of-focus applications confuse me.
