Use Terminal with X11, revisited
Authored by: ework on Sep 14, '05 01:07:24PM

This seems like way too much work. I prefer to simply put a couple lines in .bashrc to check for the existance of $DISPLAY and comment out the xterm line in the system xinitrc. I just start X11 manually as I only use it once in a while or it is started automatically by programs like GIMP. He does have some good points such as maintaining the original systems files, though it seems a little more error prone and uses more resources.
