 i.e. you get a Terminal.app (instant) not an xterm (waits for X11) for the
 {{{
 echo "================================================================="
 echo "If you wish to resize the X monitor, do so now. Window size is"
 echo "locked while interactive modules are running."
 echo "================================================================="
 }}}

 part?

 perhaps add this to the above script:
 {{{
 if [ "`uname`" = "Darwin" ] ; then
    echo "Please wait a moment for X11 to start and a monitor to open."
 fi
 }}}

 I think that's minor enough and these modules are used infrequently enough
 that we can just ignore it and let folks move windows out of the way
 themselves.

 sure

 IMO these are used infrequently enough that the computer's resources would
 be put do better use doing other things.
