Ahhh... OK, I get it. Yes, my build brings up the X server. But
other than the start-up time, that doesn't bother me. X11 is
preinstalled as of 10.6 (or maybe 10.5, I forget which) so the
hassle factor is pretty minimal.
10.6 seems to define a $DISPLAY environment variable in a way that
makes it a hook to a launcher that brings up X11.app on demand.
This feature existed in Leopard as well, but many folks had set
DISPLAY in their profiles and overrode the launcher.
In 10.5 and beyond you want to not set DISPLAY in your profile.
"Feature"? This isn't how X works, it's not how X EVER worked,
and it's not how X is SUPPOSED to work. Wow I wonder what they were
smoking when they did this.
