What is the recommended way of having X11 run on start up and open a

right click on the dock icon and select 'run at startup'. Then I'd
just setup the app_to_run to this script... here's what I have:
~ $ cat ~/bin/urxvt-grid
#!/bin/bash
# for y in 0 338; do
for x in 0 497; do
for y in 24 362; do
/opt/local/bin/urxvt -geometry +${x}+${y} &
done
done
Take a look at the list FAQ for more specifics.
Ideally, I'd launch X11 on startup, and have it open an xterm in
each of Spaces 2, 3, and 5.
Doing different spaces isn't possible.
(OK, partly to get round the problems of moving X11 apps between
spaces.)
what problem?
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)
Have you tried pbproxy?
At the moment, I don't launch X11 on startup, I launch it from the
dock.
There's no difference.
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.
If you have no ~/.xinitrc, you should have no xterm with DISPLAY=:0.
It should be the launchd socket. If it is :0, then you need to fix
your environment.Attachment:
