Leopard and anoying X11 icon

[keitaro85]

Does anyone know how to make it so that the X11 icon on the dock is never shown? for example, if i run java from terminal, the X11 icon pops up on my doc. This never happened in Tiger. Any ideas?

Thanks

This is because in Leopard, X11 is run automatically whenever it thinks it is needed. In Tiger you had to run X11 manually. To stop this behaviour you can type:

unset DISPLAY

or if you are using tcsh instead of bash

unsetenv DISPLAY.

dr_lha is right. There's more details in the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5662892, especially the long post from bbeyer. i had to edit my .bashrc/.bash_profile and ditch my .xinitrc. Also, full-screen mode no longer works with X11.

Now if I only I could get the scrollbar in Terminal to go away again :-(

I have a bash profile which does:

unset DISPLAY

And I modified the ~/Libary/Preferences/org.x.x11.plist to not point to xterm. However, no matter what I do, an X11 icon always pops up when i launch something such as javac.

I've been scouring the net, and looked at the post TilJ linked to, but still no luck. Has anyone been able to launch anything X related, and not have an X icon on the dock show up?

Thanks.
