Seamless X11
Authored by: rhowell on Nov 02, '07 08:15:55AM

If you're launching X11 applications from the Terminal, there's no need to have X11 running prior. There's also no need to manually set your DISPLAY environment variable. X11 will launch automatically, will not open an xterm window, and will manage your X11 application.

I submitted this as a hint a few days ago, but it may still be at the bottom of the pile.

Does this work for X11 connections over SSH? If so that would be wonderful.

This is an interesting hint (the pending one on the bottom of the pile).
You can just type xterm and X11 starts. Before, you needed open-x11 to be sure.

I noticed now that open-x11 is missing from 10.5, although the man page is still there.

Anyone else notice that switching to full screen no longer works? (cmd+opt+A)
And X11 apps don't work with Spaces?

At least not for me.
