OK. Cooling off. Bugs are OK. Now if we can just get rid of that
'automatically starting xterm when you click on the X11 icon' bug
we'll be in business. :) It's like the menu commands you stick in
don't pass the command line arguments. "xterm" is OK, but "xterm -
geom..." is not.

For anyone who's interested, I just tried XDroplets for the first time and they seem to work on Leopard with a tweak to the launcher.sh script each contains.
For example, I wanted to create a doc icon for mrxvt (a terminal) so I copied the XDroplet for Konsole to my disk and edited the /Konsole.app/Contents/Resources/launcher.sh script it contains, so that the PROGRAM and ARGUMENTS reflected my needs, then commented out the section at the end of the script that looks like this:
# bring X11 application to front
if [ $USEX11 -eq 1 ]
then
/usr/bin/open -a "$x11"
fi
This prevents the extra xterm from being launched. It works well for me. The only issue is that the terminal doesn't automatically get focus, not a huge deal for me.
