It also works with Control modifier, so that all xterm menus are accessible and I also can work in GNU Emacs.

For those who don't need menus in xterm or don't use GNU Emacs it's OK to offer them this *option* or choice. No force, no such so-called default. I'd wish that the FN key could be used to produce button2 or button3 ... -- Greetings Pete There's no place like ~ – (UNIX Guru)

2.3.0 not playing well with spaces hot-key combination (locking control key)
by Darren Nickerson 05 Aug '08

Folks, I just updated my 10.5.4 box to X11-2.3.0 and I'm experiencing a rather annoying issue. I use a hotkey combination (CTRL + arrow keys) to move around between spaces. When I use this combination to switch out of the space where X11 is runninig, whenever I return to that space (either by hotkeys or using the spaces dock icon) all of my xterms seem to think the CTRL key is still held down. If I press the CTRL key and release it after coming into the X11 space the problem seems to clear itself. I do not see this problem if I use the dock to move out of this space and use a hot-key to come back in. I do not see this problem if I use the dock to move out of this space and use the dock to come back in. I only see this problem if I switch out of this space using the CTRL +arrow hot key combination. Is this a known issue? -Darren

xterm original window hangs after launching and closing another xterm window

Running XQuartz 2.3.0 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple5) Under Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a G5 If I start xterm (either from the terminal or by starting X11 or with the applications menu in X11) and start another xterm from the applications menu in X11, the first xterm hangs when I type "exit" to close the second. If I start three xterms and then close the third, the second remains functional but the first hangs. -- L.

I've found that my xquartz has trouble when I put my macbook into sleep mode. I usually have to relaunch it. Not sure how else to describe it. I've got xquartz 2.3.0 and OS X 10.5.4. -gideon

contact Ben...

contact Ben... Jeremy, would it be worth asking Ben to contact Owen via irc #GTK+ on irc.gnome.org they seem like a friendly bunch. which can be rare in this thin atmosphere... regards Jonathan Chetwynd j.chetwynd(a)btinternet.com http://www.openicon.org/ +44 (0) 20 7978 1764 from #GTK+ on irc.gnome.org owen: I don't think that is separable from "fix XInput" The GTK+ API's are simple and clear, but XInput (as it has historically existed) is a broken system that doesn't give suffiicent information to hook it up to the GTK+ API Peter Hutterer has been doing some work on fixing XInput, though it's going to take some more attention to the ecosystem to get it really right (that is, you plug in a tablet, it just works everywhere out of the box) owen 's concern about tablet operation on a proprietary operating system? Close to zero And on OS X, I think Gtk Quartz is more interesting place to spend effort Anyways, my opinion on XQuartz + GTK i that it first needs to be fixed thoroughly on Linux, then the XQuartz changes to make it work out of the box will be obvious ebassi: what owen is trying to say is that the native quartz backend is far more interesting than using X11 on OSX so the effort should go in fixing tablet support there
