If I recall, that initial xterm is opened through your .xinitrc. If  
you don't have an .xinitrc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc is used  
instead.

If you want to change the arguments to that initial xterm (or remove  
it completely, as I did), then you can copy that file to ~/.xinitrc  
and edit it. Obviously, you will want to make all of your changes  
before the line 'exec quartz-wm'.
