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

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I think the problem stems from our using the default lock file: / 
tmp/.X0-lock ... I don't see why the  original Leopard would've worked  
for you, so can you please check that out and verify?

I'll try to fix this up as I rework the startup stuff... if you  
haven't already, would you mind filing a bug for it for me, so I don't  
forget?

Thanks,
Jeremy
