[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.2_rc4 - Window drawing weirdness

[Dave Ray]

Testing the latest release 2.3.2_rc4 on 10.5.6, Enlightenment window  
manager, Gimp, Eterm.

The latest release seems to fix the weird rectangle problem. I'm not  
seeing any unusual errors in the logs.

I am seeing some very strange window drawing issues that I don't  
remember seeing before. Pretty major. I am wondering if anybody else  
is seeing  this, if not, I suspect my window manager might need  
recompiling.

If I run another OS-X program, say Textedit, and command-tab back to  
X11, the X11 windows come forward as expected. However if I am in  
another OS-X program and click the mouse in one of the exposed X11  
windows, X11 appears to be the front application in the menubar, and  
the X11 window selected will receive keyboard text, but the window  
doesn't come to the front and is partially obscured as it was before  
clicked on. If I click on the drag bar to move the X11 window, the  
entire window  immediately cones to the front while I have mouse-down  
on the drag bar, but as soon as I let go the window becomes obscured  
again as if it was a background OS-X application. This problem happens  
in the rootless window mode (not full screen). For reference, my  
window manager has 4 workspaces, one of which is the rootless window;  
X11 windows in other workspaces are in X11-land and don't normally  
appear as background windows when using other OS-X apps.

Additionally, X11 windows in the other 3 workspaces are now getting a  
horrible display problem that I have not seen before, in which the  
background is not being erased at all! As I drag windows around they  
leave a trail of windows behind them, very psychadelic, like Windows  
3.1 crashing. Pop-up menus stay there forever. But all the apps run  
fine without crashing.

My wm and most of my X11 binaries were built under 10.5.4 and XCode  
3.1, before the major 10.5.5 update, I am wondering if I should  
suspect the age of the binaries and recompile the wm.
