Honestly, I think that's not a good idea. For one thing, X11.app
(which has the preferences you are talking about) doesn't launch xterm
at start. The /A/U/X11.app executes the command 'xterm' then quits.
xterm then connects to the $DISPLAY socket. launchd starts /u/X/
X11.app (the one with the preferences) which launches Xquartz, etc...
I think the X11.apps are in a bit of a need for some re-engineering
which has been discussed a bit over the past month. I'm going to
probably take a look at this sometime next week after Thanksgiving.

Ben
how much trouble would it be to have a check box in the X11
application's preferences that says
"Start up an xterm when X11 is launched"
and takes appropriate action?
This would seem like a good way to solve this issue in a way that
should suit everyone. :-)
Best wishes
