I just don't want to leave X11 "hanging around" after our program is

quit. What's the recommended way to accomplish this?
We discussed this somewhat during development, and decided that most
people probably wouldn't care about it "hanging around". However, if
you do, there are a couple of different approaches that could be taken
to make this happen.
1) The X server will quit when xinitrc terminates. By default,
xinitrc execs quartz-wm, which means it will never terminate. You
might be able to somehow do something clever with a custom xinitrc.
2) We could add in a preference to X11.app that would take note if it
is started by launchd, and if so, exit when the last launchd
connection closes. If you'd like to see this, please file a bug at
bugreport.apple.com and ask for it as an "enhancement".
