If X is up-and-running, then it should "Just Work".

The latest XDarwin+XAqua releases are very stable, but because of PATH
problems they're a little awkward to start:
start 'Terminal', then:
set path = ( /usr/X11R6/bin $path )
startx -- -quartz &
exit 'Terminal'

Not sure. Last time I tried it all went horribly wrong - but that was a
while ago now. I'm getting better at all this stuff...

Deep in the human unconsciousness is a pervasive need for a logical

beyond logic.
