[Xquartz-dev] 2.3.2_rc2

[Merle Reinhart]

Jeremy,

It is looking good from my point-of-view thus far.

A curiosity that I noticed is the executables oclock and xeyes seem to  
displace the graphics in the window (or it more looks like the window  
background starts underneath the top window bar rather than at the  
bottom edge of it with the graphics on the background being drawn  
properly), but I vaguely remember you mentioning issues with that  
earlier in the betas.


The ~/.xinitrc.d scheme seems to work quite well for me as it allows  
me to inject personal changes that apply to me, but not all the other  
users on the system without having to keep up with any future changes  
in the system xinitrc.  Nice!


The new pasteboard synchronization seems to be working well for me.  I  
don't have to change any habits I developed previously and now cutting/ 
pasting between java apps running on solaris displayed to the Mac just  
work (had to go through xclipboard machinations previously).

I'll report if I find anything.

Well done Jeremy and a big THANKS!!!!


Merle
