No, it's not weird... in fact my primary use of X11 is using my
terminal (urxvt) ;)
As for your xterm logging you in without a password, your xterm is
started by running:
/usr/bin/login -fp <user name> /bin/sh -c xterm
So you're actually running xterm from within a login shell. This is
essentially doing:
<login shell>
- <xterm>
_ <shell>
changing your application to be 'xterm -ls' would cause the shell
within xterm to be a login shell... this isn't really neccessary since
xterm already has your login environment inherited from the login
shell it is spawned from.

Question #1: A lot of people recently give me looks like I am insane
when they see that I run x11 with the sole purpose of using Xterm. I
do this mainly because of the x11 font and the 3 button mouse
emulation. So, my question is-- is it really that strange for a
person to use x11 for xterm? And, is there anyway to get the x11 font
to be used by other terminal programs?
Question #2: How can I make xterm log me in without requiring my
password?
When I start xterm, I just see a blank window with:

if I start Apple's Terminal program I see:

... I know I can do xterm -e login patrick
but then I am prompted with my password, and I would like to not have
to enter it every time I run xterm....
Thank you
