Yes.  Spaces is going to require a bit more involved work.  In short,  
I think I'll have a solution available in the short term which solves  
most of the "switching" issues but which breaks 'F8' support (windows  
that are in "other" spaces won't appear when you hit F8).  The long- 
term solution will actually be much more complicated.

I can't offer a timeline for either solution.  Right now, the spaces  
issue is lower in priority than the reproducible crash and lockup.   
Exposé was the bigger issue in my mind because it borked windows even  
when they were in the same space.

Are you using focus follows mouse, I'm guessing?

Yeah, that's part of it.  There is lack of communication between the X  
server and OSX's Windows Server about where these windows are located.

Odd.  That should've been done.  I will investigate.  Thanks for the  
report.
