Executing /path/to/Xterm.app/Contents/MacOS/Xterm from a terminal and
double clicking on Xterm.app should have no difference...

I have no Idea where those messages are coming from. I moved
my ,Xresouces file to a different name, so it was not coming from
that. Sorry about the cc to fink users. I will try what you said and
see if there is a difference. I tried it that way and do not get the
messages and it reads the .Xresources because I get the correct
colors. I did have an error in my .Xresources file the
xterm*background had a spelling error. That is now fixed. I will try
the app launch with finder and see what happens. Okay it is now
okay. I guess it was the spelling error then. my bad. sorry my
typing is bad in my old age :)

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

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.
