 You likely *HAD* it loaded when your session started and had since
 unloaded it.

 Depending on what version of OS X you have, you may need to use 'sudo' to
 have that disabled in the plist rather than a per-user override.

 Furthermore, this indicates that you did not uninstall XQuartz per the
 instructions in the FAQ.  You need to remove that LaunchAgent's
 launchd.plist if you deleted XQuartz.  Check out the FAQ or just re-
 install XQuartz.

 I'm guessing that org.macosforge.xquartz.startx is still loaded or you did
 not wait long enough for per user launchd to terminate (depending on your
 verison of OS X).

 Seeing as how you deleted XQuartz.app, you should remove the
 launchd.plist.
