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.
I have not looked at it, but what does it do in the event that a user launches X11 by double-clicking on the X11.app icon and then, in a Terminal.app window does ssh -X <somewhere>? I believe that the original problem was that another instance of X11.app would then launch with a different DISPLAY. Peter -- Peter O'Gorman http://pogma.com
