Notice my choice words in the changelog / release notes.  "X11 works  
_better_ with spaces." ;)

I certainly haven't been able to give it a thorough pounding, and I'm  
glad you guys are.  Can you please add this to the buglist at http://xquartz.macosforge.org?

Thanks.

Not sure, honestly.  It seems to happen for other things like  
Terminal.app TextEdit.app.  Honestly, I wish there was a way to make  
Terminal.app and TextEdit.app behave this way and not the other way  
around... =/  So maybe if I figure out what I did "wrong", I can maybe  
do something "wrong" to make other apps behave this way for me =)

> In step 10 why is the focus still in the space 2 xterm?

This is probably a bug I can address (but haven't tried to reproduce  
yet).  I'll look at it, but because it's not a regression, it won't be  
blocking 2.2.0.

Not sure...
