If you keep it in the dock, however, and launch it with the icon, you will get a second. If you launch xterm from Terminal.app, then you just have one icon. I think the launcher is claiming the existing icon, and the second instance (from launchd) gets its own. I'm going to try telling the launcer to not show up in the dock if it's in launcher mode. --Jeremy On Dec 4, 2007, at 14:59, Ben Byer wrote:

I just committed a patch that combines both X11.apps into one application and intelligently determines what to do at execution. See http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=0284b3631a4c501...
I know I was confused about the two different versions, so I thought this might help out the situation. If you try it out, make sure you grab the updated LaunchAgent plist (also in the commit) and restart first.
Note that this hasn't fixed the "extra dock icon" problem or anything like that. I hope to figure out a solution to that as I work on this refactoring of the startup process, but I'm not there yet. As an end goal, I'd like X11.app to *really* be Xquartz rather than fork to execute it. I think that might make it a bit cleaner and clear up any weird double-icon problems.
Comments and feedback on this would be appreciated... especially if you are partial to having this division, I'd like to hear from you.
Bravo! I don't think there's a single person on this planet who *wants* this division. There is a simple reason we have the two .apps - I tried about six months ago what you just tried, and when I did it, I ended up with no Dock icon at all. I just tried your code, and while I briefly see two dock icons, one goes away almost immediately. I think that that's just fine, as long as we end up with at least *one* icon.
