Hi All,

I've put together a package containing all the bugfixes I've addressed  
since 2.3.0's release.  Please try this package if you were  
experiencing any of the following:

1 - Tablet clicks weren't getting noticed
2 - Server doesn't start with certain keyboard layouts (READ BELOW!!!!)

I also further addressed the xinitrc race condition with a nearly  
final solution, so you shouldn't see xterms without window frames any  
more.

A note about the keyboard issue.  This is not "fixed"!  I simply  
readded some deprecated code that I had removed.  It was a fallback/ 
failsafe in case the new way failed (which it was for some of you).   
If you look at the actual commit, you'll see that this code is in  
place for Leopard only... so we need to figure out the "real" solution  
for 10.6.

If you were having this problem in 2.3.0, it'll probably work for you,  
but I need some of you to send me logs of the server startup with  
2.3.1_beta1.  You'll probably see something like this:

X11.app: Error detected in determining keyboard layout.  Please report  
this error at http://xquartz.macosforge.org
X11.app: Debug Info: currentKeyLayoutRef=#####, chr_data=####
X11.app: Fallback succeeded, but this is still a bug.  Please report  
the above information.
X11.app: Debug Info: kKLuchrData fallback failed, trying kKLKCHRData.
X11.app: Fallback succeeded, but this is still a bug.  Please report  
the above information.

If you see that, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE report it on this list or in trac!
