You don't have to fire up X11 explicitly at all.  If you want to start
an (u)xterm, just start it from the command line...in most of the
cases where I want X, I already have a terminal open somehow, either
via ssh'ing in or starting up iTerm.

If you want to use xterm as your primary command-line window, instead
of Terminal.app or iTerm or something, then I don't see how there's
nothing wrong with using X11.app to get it.

Alternatives?

You could double-click directly on /usr/X11/bin/xterm, but that gets
you an extra Terminal window...

You could write a little AppleScript to do shell script
/usr/X11/bin/xterm and make an application out of it...

I dunno, seems like there ought to be an easier way to say "Run this
non-applicationized Unix command without a terminal".  Maybe there is
and I just don't know what it is.
