10.5: Stop X11 from opening xterm on launch
Authored by: beniamino38 on Nov 06, '07 12:12:14PM
As others have said, using xhost doesn't seem a good idea from a security point of view. An alternative:

defaults write org.x.X11_launcher app_to_run /usr/X11/bin/xprop

10.5: Stop X11 from opening xterm on launch

Another possibility would be to use xlsclients:

defaults write org.x.X11_launcher app_to_run /usr/X11/bin/xlsclients

(it doesn't hit the filesystem or produce any output when you use it to launch the server)

Please, read: "Leopard and X11" FAQs:
