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?
This is my primary reason for runnign X11. I use big xterms and run
screen inside of them, (or ssh to another host and attach to screen over
there). I've tried other terminal programs over the years, and nothing
provides the performance and consistancy real xterms do.
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....
I've never had that problem. I have my app_to_run set to /bin/true,
then I start new xterms with cmd-n, which is set to simply 'xterm' under
the Applications menu for X11. I get my bash prompt, no logging in
required.
