On the default setup, closing that window shuts X down. The name of that xterm is set to be "login" via a flag. Check out /usr/X11R6/etc/xinit/xinitrc, which sets that behavior. > and xterm.

Apple's X11 has a companion command-line application to open apps in the X11.app server, but I don't know of anything comparable for XDarwin. > Also, when loading apps, they don't appear right away, i need to click > the xdarwin xterm window before the app appears.

In other window managers the application windows open automatically. > Thirdly, xdarwin and x apps are very slow to load, anything to improve this? > Not as such, but there's one exception: apps that use GTK, e.g. xchat, load very, very slowly the first time they're run, and afterward load more quickly. > Thanks! > > >
