I just don't want to leave X11 "hanging around" after our program is otherwise
quit. What's the recommended way to accomplish this?
I used Platypus to create an icon that launches a script. The script does some
sanity checking on the environment (makes sure that X11 is installed, Xcode,
checks the processor type, etc) and then launches the X11 application. On
Tiger/Panther, this is done with a call to xinit, with Leopard, it just
launches the X11 app directly, now.
On tiger, when xinit terminates, the X icon disappears as well. I just want to
get Leopard to do the same thing without having to do a killall or
something...
