Why are you CCing fink-users?
Anyways, where are you seeing that 'xterm*foreground:: command not
found' ??? That's just weird.
As for the .app I gave you, do you get any error message if you run it
from a terminal? That is, open a terminal and execute:
/path/to/Xterm.app/Contents/MacOS/Xterm

When I double click on the Xterm.app from your tarball I get a

Well, you can start it up the way you were before you used the
Xterm.app
As for 'xterm*foreground:: command not found' ... what are you
doing that you see that?
All you should need to do is unpack that tarball and run the
Xterm.app that it creates. That just runs those commands without
opening a Terminal window.

So I linked xterm to /Application, however everytime I start an
xterm, it also start a background terminal.app! The same for a
script containing "xterm -e ssh myserver.example.com"
How can I
1) Start xterm (with colors set) without an background terminal
app, new fashion way?
2) Create a script, that only opens an xterm, not also a
background terminal?
Are subsequent executions of /A/U/X11.app giving you an xterm
with your desired colors? Can you try something like this:
---
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/login -fp $(whoami) /usr/X11/bin/xlsclients
sleep 3
/usr/bin/login -fp $(whoami) /usr/X11/bin/xterm &

I've wrapped it up in a convenient app bundle for you to try and
placed it here:

I've been forming some ideas on how to possibly combat this race
(none of which are extremely elegant), but they're not very well
formulated yet. For now, hopefully things like this will work as
a workaround.
