xdiagnose is used by apport, whoopsie and the Xorg failure  mode. In
case your graphics card fails it is used to do the reconfiguration to
get you back on track.

xterm is the default fallback tool built into X (if your display manager
fails to start, no desktop is detected etc ... and you run startx you
end up with an Xorg root window and an undecorated xterm ...) its a last
resort fallback tool (and less than 300k big) ...
