xterm.app

Description

xterm.app is a simple application for Leopard that launches a new instance of xterm.

Leopard comes with an application called X11.app that does this, but there's a bug somewhere: X11.app uses login to launch xterm, and when xterm is run by login, it ignores the contents of your .Xdefaults file. xterm.app does not use login, so the bug is worked around.

To use xterm.app, simply double-click on it. xterm.app will run xterm, then exit. X11 will launch automatically if it isn't already running.

Requirements

xterm.app requires Mac OS X 10.5.0 or later. It will not run on earlier versions of Mac OS X.
