[Xquartz-dev] 2.2.1_rc1 and Xquartz-1.4.0-apple3

[Michał Majchrowicz]

Hi.
For me 2.2.1 works much better than 2.2.0 but I notice one glitch.
When I run an X app trough it's icon then cmd-tab shows it's window
but when I run it in terminal (i.e. the only way to run OpenOffice) I
still se only X icon in cmd-tab.
Regards Michal.
