The ``?´´ stands for an apple. Is there no improvement for neither  
the list software nor Mail to handle UTF-8 or similiar encodings?


The white rectangles did not reappear, and either the apple menu bar.  
When the X11 clients are visible, achieved by clicking at the X11  
icon in dock, the apple menu bar is invisible. When I pick a Quartz  
application the X clients become invisible and the apple menu bar  
appears.

In this state only Desktop Manager "feels" the mouse cursor and  
appears. Dock is immune. When I press ⌘-, the preference pane of X11  
appears – and the X11 clients vanish. When I switch from Mail to the  
X11 preference pane for a moment the X clients appear and the Quartz  
applications seem to be invisible. The Quartz again is visible und  
usable.

When I switch off full-screen mode in the preference pane, blackbox  
WM's "dock" never appears, i.e., neither when the focus is owned by a  
Quartz application nor when it's owned by an X client.


It's nice that I can un-bury X clients by clicking at the X11 icon in  
dock, but it's not nice in full-screen mode that X11 takes reliably  
over when I switch from X11 to a Quartz application that I then quit.  
Although it seems to be regular Quartz or Aqua behaviour ...
