[Xquartz-dev] 1.4.0-apple2

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Over these past few days at XDC, Ben and I have pushed a lot of  
changes into the 1.4 branch (many thanks to the X.org devs who banged  
their heads on our keyboards to help find solutions).  We've fixed all  
but one regression over 1.2, fixed a few thread related issues that  
aren't fixed in the 1.2/1.3 branch, and refactored the code enough  
that it's not trivial to backport everything at this point.

Check out git for the full set of changes:

Please, please, please test out Xquartz-1.4.0-apple2 and let us know  
your experience.

We especially need people who use:
1) Multi-dimensional input (ie: wacom tablets, etc)
2) International input (ie: anything that is not the standard US Apple  
keyboard)

Known regression:
Having an external monitor causes "issues"...

Install 2.2.0.1, then decompress the binary and place at /usr/X11/bin/ 
Xquartz

The feedback I get here will pretty much dictate whether or not to go  
with 1.4 for the next release or devote time backporting most of these  
changes into 1.2/1.3 ... Personally, I think 1.4 is looking like the  
better option once we clear up this one regression (partially because  
it means I need to maintain one less branch in that scenario)... but  
it's really up to you all to pound it and find more regressions for me.

Thanks,
Jeremy
