What is the recommended way of having X11 run on start up
and open a few xterms (or other apps) for you? Preferably
in specified different Spaces?
Ideally, I'd launch X11 on startup, and have it open an
xterm in each of Spaces 2, 3, and 5. (OK, partly to get
round the problems of moving X11 apps between spaces.) But
it is close to what I used to do under Tiger, (only the
xterms would be on different "spaces" of my virtual desktop
window manager running full screen).
The reason I'm asking is that (as well as the moving between
Spaces set of bugs and copy-paste limitations) I also got
bitten by the changing locations issue that was discussed in
a recent thread. And the solution to that seemed to be
launching X11 in the right way.
At the moment, I don't launch X11 on startup, I launch it
from the dock. And (as has already been discussed) end up
with one xterm with DISPLAY=0.0 (or similar) while the
subsequent ones are OK. I ditched my ~/.xinitrc a while ago
after discussions here suggested it wasn't the best way to
do things, but would happily bring it back if it would
accomplish what I want.
thanks,
