Eh?  What?  X11 isn't put out though Software Update.

I did not update X11 myself, and the most recent version 2.1.4 appeared in my Applications/Utilities folder after I had done a software update.  I can only assume it was the software update that installed the new version of X11.

What is xterminator?

xterminator is an application that allows the user to change some of the default behaviors of the X11 terminal.  The home page for the application is here: http://xanana.ucsc.edu/xtal/Xterminator/

What?  How is system preferences coming into this?

When I try to use the xterminator application to restore what is, as far as I know, the default behavior to X11, xterminator quits and a system preferences window opens, defaulting to the "accounts" tab.  I can only assume this is due to some incompatability between xterminator.app and the latest version of OS X or X11, since xterminator never used to open the system preferences when I used earlier versions of X11.

This is your problem.  What is this /Applications/Internet/Terminal/
X11.app?  2.1.4 installs to /A/U/X11.app.  Delete this rogue one and
you should be fine.

This is the location where I previously had the X11 application.  After the updated version did not function properly, I tried moving the updated X11 application to the same location as the previous older version that I had deleted.  Apparently I took this snippet from my console after I had tried moving the updated version of X11.  Just for good measure, I deleted X11 again, repaired permissions again, and installed X11 again, then tried running from the default location in Applications/Utilities.  The application still fails to launch, and the console output is below.
