I know this will seem silly, but you can at least work around this by putting a "wrapper script" some place, I suggest "$HOME/bin/uxterm- blue.sh" or something, that contains:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec uxterm -sb -geometry 80x50+0+0 -sl 1000 -bg lightsteelblue3 -e ssh -L8086:localhost:8086 lab1


Make sure it has execute permissions, then you at least have the same functionality through a menu if you like. I'm not saying it's great, but it's something.

Another issue with the Leopard version of X11.app that I have not seen mentioned is the reduced functionality of the customizable "Applications" menu. In Tiger I have a rich set of commands that I use to launch sessions on my lab machines with a differently colored xterm for each machine so I can easily find the window I want. A typical command looks like:

uxterm -sb -geometry 80x50+0+0 -sl 1000 -bg lightsteelblue3 -e ssh - L8086:localhost:8086 lab1

Under Tiger it looks like only commands with no options are supported, such as their examples of "xman" and "xlogo". I hope that is an oversight and will be fixed in the next release of X11.
