Does X11.app increment display numbers for
each successive launch as a security feature?
Only if .X*-lock is there. It doesn't have a counter.
I know that in the 2.5.0 release (and probably also several other releases
in the 2.5.x series) for Leopard there was a bug in the scripts that
started/stopped X that did precisely that: it did not remove the .X*-lock
file when you quit X11.app, so that each time you relaunched you got a new
display number.
I've since moved to 2.6.0 on Snow Leopard (and as a consequence of the OS
change X11.app became XQuartz.app) and I haven't noticed that problem in
this setup.
