On Tiger, you should be able to prove or disprove this with `fs_usage`:

  * launch Terminal
  * `sudo fs_usage | grep -i x11` (tweak the grep filter as needed)
  * launch X11
  * thousands of filesystem accesses flow by in Terminal window
  * find the one that mentions how xterm, possibly by doing e.g.:
    * repeat steps with `sudo fs_usage | grep -i x11 | grep -i xterm`
    * repeat steps with `sudo fs_usage | grep -i '/usr/X11' (etc)
    * repeat steps with `sudo fs_usage | grep -i 'X11.app' (etc)
    * use cmd+f to search the terminal window's buffer

Etc.
