Jeremy,

Forgive me, but are you sure this isn't a permissions issue? launchctl seems to disagree with you ;-)

I did 1) long ago. I just did 2) and 3) again. I immediately opened Terminal. Here's what I see:

ProcyonLeo: ~] ls -l /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  596 Aug 14 12:07 /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.openbsd.ssh-agent.plist
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  562 Aug 14 12:14 /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.startx.plist
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~] ls -l /Library/LaunchAgents/org.*
-rw-rw-r--  1 root  admin  654 Sep 24 16:10 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~] launchctl list org.x.startx
launchctl list returned unknown response
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~] launchctl list org.macosforge.xquartz.startx
launchctl list returned unknown response
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~] echo $DISPLAY

ProcyonLeo: ~] launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist 
launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist
nothing found to load
ProcyonLeo: ~] 
ProcyonLeo: ~]
