[Xquartz-dev] Re: 2.2.0.1 regression, open-apple tab

[Viv Kendon]

FWIW, this also happens with Tiger's X11 on intel (MB Air) 
installed on Leopard running fullscreen.  A half-second flip 
back to the Apple desktop then back to full screen X.  It 
eats keystrokes: if I'm typing when it happens, I'll lose 3 
or 4 characters.  And it leaves the ffm focus confused until 
the mouse/pointer is moved and X11 realises it is actually 
back inside one of its windows.

I know you aren't going to fix Tiger's X11, but I thought it 
might help with tracking it down to know it shares the same 
behaviour.  This grabbing focus stuff is the single most 
annoying thing for me about the Apple environment.  XDarwin 
(the slightly later xorg equivalent of Tiger's X11) doesn't 
exhibit it BTW, the only thing I've found that will take 
focus from full screen XDarwin is cmd-shift-Q to trigger 
logout, which kicks in once the 60 secs delay is up (with a 
window asking if you want to quit XDarwin to proceed with 
logout).
