Because my program is not primarily an X11 client, it's a multi-mode

it's triggered it tries to connect to DISPLAY, and if that doesn't
work the X11 module does nothing. There's still lots of other
interesting work to be done, just not in X.
If you want to know the whole story, check out the website:

Interesting. But this is necessarily local, so you really only care if
the X server is running on the local host, right? You don't want your
local program rearranging windows that are showing up on a different
display. In this case, I would think the best bet is to add a
'support' command to launchctl, as I suggested before. This gives
people a general mechanism for querying the status of launchd jobs.
