[Xquartz-dev] 1.4.2-apple29

[Zulli, Louis P]

Hi Jeremy,

I dropped in the new X11.bin. I see "XQuartz 2.3.2_rc4 (xorg-server 
1.4.2-apple29)" in the About X11 window, so the binary is being used.

I'm having root window problems, perhaps similar to those reported by Viv 
Kendon, if memory serves. For reference, I have the X11 "Full-screen mode" box 
checked and the "Auto-show menu bar in full-screen mode" unchecked.

With X11.app not open, I type "xsetroot -solid red" in Terminal. This 
automatically starts X11. I click on the X11 dock icon and I see a solid red 
screen. I do "command-option-a" and my Desktop appears with X11 as the active 
application. I immediately do another "command-option-a" and the menu bar 
disappears but no red screen. I still see my Desktop, and clicking on it 
simply activates Finder.

Something seems amiss.

By the way, I was surprised to see that the size of this new X11.bin is 6.5M 
compared to 3.4M.

Louis
