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

[Merle Reinhart]

I switched spaces using <control>-(number).  And as long as I didn't  
move the cursor at all, I am apparently seeing what Martin and Jamie  
are seeing.

So, I started up X11 and created an xterm in the default space.
My xterm started in the upper left corner.
Used <control>-2 to go to space 2.
<command>-<tab> to get X11 to be the active app.
<command>-N to create a new xterm (which will be in space 2).
this xterm should now be nearly completely overlapping the position of  
the space 1 xterm.
Make sure the mouse cursor is in the upper left quadrant of the xterm  
(ie, in the region of overlap).
<control>-1 to get back to space 1.
Without moving the cursor at all (it will not be visible because it is  
actually still attached to the xterm in space 2), click the left mouse  
button.  At least in my case, I get auto-switched to space 2 since  
that's where the cursor still is.
