Both are the supported ways, those with launchd?

I remember that you once wrote that double-clicking on the X11 icon in  
Dock is not the supported way to launch X11 (I then had a ~/.xinitrc  
file) and at the start of this thread you again wrote of an  
unsupported way I use X11. This kept me thinking. It seems now that  
only setting DISPLAY to :0 in ~/.login was meant...
