P.S. Unloading it doesn't solve the popping in front problem anyway.

The problem with disabling the startx LaunchAgent is that I lose my display
variable, i.e. it is now:********~@yvette% echo $DISPLAY:0*******
And I cannot ssh into my work machines.
Anyhow, I think I will just file a bug report later today unless there are
other ideas to fix this. This bug is really annoying.

Sorry, indeed.

OK, I'll bite: what happens when you do disable the privileged startx, and why
am I not seeing any ill effects of doing so?
I know that the X server is running as root on Linux, but that's not the case
with XQuartz. As far as I can tell the privileged startx only creates a few
directories (with sockets in them?) under /tmp, which anyone can do.
Or is that because I use an admin account (as most XQuartz users, I'd presume)?
