Use other terminal apps with Apple's X11
Authored by: EddEdmondson on Aug 26, '04 11:47:18AM

Far safer in my opinion to do the following:

Make yourself an .xinitrc file ('cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/') if you don't already have your own in your home directory and edit the 'xterm &' line to 'open -a iTerm' or whatever in order to have an iTerm window start up alongside X11.app.

Then edit your X11.app Applications menu to add an iTerm menu option again using 'open -a'.

This leaves the xterm binary intact for other users too.
