[Xquartz-dev] Re: XQuartz 2.2.0_rc3 (includes spaces fix)

[Merle Reinhart]

Jeremy,

Just installed rc3.  A few comments on oddities...

On initial X11 startup after the install (I ran oclock from a Terminal  
window), I noticed that my additional user fonts were not being seen  
by X11, only the main fonts.  Looked at the system log and noticed  
that even though I had a usable X11, the font caches were still being  
built.  I waited for it to finish to see if by chance X11 would  
noticed, but it didn't.  I shut down and restarted X11 and there were  
all the fonts I was expecting.  So, if using extra fonts not in the  
standard X11 fonts area, the first startup of X11 after the install  
isn't terribly useful.  But all subsequent ones seem to have  
everything one would expect (probably because the caches are already  
built).

Also, while poking around in the system log to understand the font  
oddity, I noticed this:
Apr  9 19:38:35 LeoMacPro com.apple.launchctl.Background[164]:  
launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/ 
LaunchAgents/org.x.X11.plist
Apr  9 19:38:35 LeoMacPro com.apple.launchctl.Aqua[166]: launchctl:  
Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ 
org.x.X11.plist

Looking at the plist file itself, sure enough, there is group write  
privilege.  Given your comment about renaming the startx launch agent,  
I was surprised to even see that file (yes, I installed rc3 on top of  
rc2 which was on top of 2.1.4 which was on top of the Leopard 10.5.2  
X11 install).  It doesn't look like it gets loaded even if I correct  
the permissions.  Should it be getting deleted by the Installer?

The Installer is adding pkg-config to /usr/local/bin.  If this is X11  
specific, shouldn't it be in /usr/X11/bin?

Other than these oddities, I haven't noticed any usability problems.

Good job!  Thanks!

Merle
