You're right about the no need to use run in terminal (console implies non-
X, terminal implies konsole/xterm or some other X based terminal window, 
it's the latter that's in question here and I just checked the option in 
kde to be sure, at least here, 4.6.3, it's run in terminal), in that case.

You only need the run in terminal (whether X app or not, you can use the 
checkbox to get the STDOUT/STDERR out of an X/KDE app if you want...) if 
you want to see the output (STDOUT/STDERR, tho you could of course 
redirect them to a file instead, thus avoiding the need for terminal in 
that case) or the app needs terminal STDIN (a bit more problematic, unless 
you can predict the input effectively enough to use redirection from a 
file for it as well).  If you don't need those resources you don't need 
run in terminal, and thus don't get the momentary terminal popup.

I was wondering what kind of crazy documentation or tool you used that 
didn't describe or create an indented xorg.conf...  But the forum software 
reformatting it does explain...

Meanwhile, are you going to try omitting the various sections as 
suggested, or are you taking an "if it works, don't break it" attitude?  
The don't break what's working stance is certainly a valid choice, but if 
you do try it without those sections, I'd appreciate it if you posted your 
results, confirming or disproving my suspicions.
