The final release has a strange habit: it launches an extra xterm! How can I stop it doing so?...
I'm not sure if this is related to your extra xterm. I noticed in 2.6.1_final seems to reset my plist, it reverted to the default which opens an xterm from launchd. I followed instructions in the user FAQ to make it go away: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X11-UsersFAQ.
You can check if that's whats causing it with: defaults read org.macosforge.xquartz.X11
If needed, you can turn it off with: defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 app_to_run /usr/bin/true
It would be org.x.X11 for the Leopard version since on Leopard, it overrides the Apple-provided X11 and uses that identifier. There was certainly nothing intentional done to "reset" preferences or anything like that...
