I *think* that a DISPLAY variable of that type should be visible via `launchctl 
export` (or `launchctl getenv DISPLAY`).

If so, the most informative thing to do would be to

- launch XQuartz
- open a Terminal.app window
- in there, set DISPLAY as it should and launch xterm. Or use `xterm -display 
`launchctl getenv DISPLAY``.


This is the only way to catch any error output from xterm (or the libraries it 
uses) itself.

(I hate those stupid DISPLAY values; I can't remember how I managed but mine is 
a simple ":0.0" on my local host, and I can connect remotely to it remembering 
only the ZeroConf hostname. Yeah, I know, ssh tunneling and all that, but why 
bother on your own LAN.)
