[Xquartz-dev] X11-2.2.1-rc2 and xorg-server-1.4.0-apple5

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I've put together an updated X11 package (2.2.1-rc2).  There are only  
a few changes over 2.2.1-rc1:
	XBell() now works (you can toggle between this doing NSBeep() and the  
"System Alert" sound effect in preferences
	Closing an X11 window will no longer cause you to jump to another space
	xinit now uses CFProcessPath instead of argv[0] trickery (thus  
Xquartz will show up as /usr/X11/bin/X in ps, top, etc)
	RECORD extension is disabled

Assuming nobody reports any show stoppers, I'll be releasing this as  
2.2.1 on 5/1.

1.4.0-apple5 incorporates all the fixes mentioned above plus:
	further cleanup of the startup code
	Ben committed some patches today targeting tablet support (although  
he has my tablet, so I haven't tested it)
	Some possible threading issues have been corrected, and people have  
reported that the _xp_async_dequeue server lockup is no longer occurring
	Additionally, multi-monitor support should be better with 1.4.0- 
apple5 than 1.4.0-apple4.

Please test this out and let me know how it works for you.

There is one known crash with this version.  It is a threading issue  
that can only happen on server shutdown.  I think I know a fix for it,  
but I haven't implemented it yet... still, please report anything you  
find.

The next package release of X11 after 2.2.1 will most likely use the  
1.4 branch, so it's imperative that this get some good testing exposure.

(Install it after 2.2.1_rc2).
