[Xquartz-dev] Autolaunched X11 doesn't work with fast-user-switching

[Merle Reinhart]

The original Leopard X11 did not have this problem.  I don't have a  
Leopard with the version just prior to X11-2.1.1 at this point in time  
to determine if it was X11-2.1.1 where the problem occurred or not (I  
can probably get there by the end of the weekend).
