I prefer BlackboxWM (it can minimise clients to the title bar), although OpenLookWM, or OpenLookVirtualWM olvwm, might be a better choice, and some X11 desktop – of course without a dock and such useless gimmicks. And I prefer for example GNU Emacs, the X client, before the Carbon, Cocoa, and AppKit variants. It's faster ("Instant Emacs") and feels more handy.

Ok, but that has nothing to do with what you set $DISPLAY to and your disabling launchd support (which was my question)

No, just the one.  If you want multiple, read the list FAQ.

It'll sync from X11 to NSPasteboard back to the other X11.
