Those two items have nothing to do with each other.

This is my work horse, not the AppKit or the NS variant. And what I particularly like is that I can close the windows clearly as their title bars on the desktop/in the (home) space.

That's perfectly fine, and many people do use X11 fullscreen, but that doesn't explain at all why you're avoiding using the launchd socket and setting DISPLAY manually yourself.

What makes it "awkward" to you?  You shouldn't ever need to think about it.  launchd sets the environment variable for you, and you should never need to bother with it.
