Comment (by agtebo@…):

 Here is what that looks like:
 {{{#!python
 agtebo$ echo $DISPLAY
 /tmp/launch-KcoXVw/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
 agtebo$ launchctl list | grep startx
 -       1       org.x.startx
 -       0       org.macports.startx
 }}}

 I'm confused as to how my DISPLAY is showing macosforge if it's not listed
 as one of the startx list.

 {{{#!python
 agtebo$ launchctl unload -w
 /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macosforge.xquartz.startx.plist
 launchctl: Error unloading: org.macosforge.xquartz.startx
 }}}

 which I presume because it's no longer part of the starts list. Then,
 {{{#!python
 agtebo$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.macports.startx.plist
 org.macports.startx: Already loaded
 }}}
 So I log back out and back in, and then:
 {{{#!python
 agtebo$ echo $DISPLAY
 /tmp/launch-KcoXVw/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
 }}}

 I am sure I'm being an idiot. What am I missing here?

 Thanks again.
