If that is the case, then it is because you originally removed it... which isn't necessary since XQuartz will take priority. You should be able to just undo what you did.

Do that without "sudo" ... sudo runs it as root, but you don't care what root is doing. You want to control your launchd session.

That is the name of the DDX. XQuartz.app and X11.app are essentially the same except for which directories are used (/opt/X11 versus /usr/X11).

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.startx.plist
logout
login
If that doesn't work, something else is unsetting it. Run "launchctl list org.x.startx" for more info. Also, try finding the socket yourself by running "find /tmp/ -name '*:0'"
