I installed 2.3.2-beta1 and X11-1.4.2-apple20 on my 10.5.5 G5.  I found 
that I could no longer paste text from X11 xterms or from XEmacs into 
Safari's address window or forms.  I also discovered that I could not 
paste any text from CoCoa-based text widgets into XEmacs or xterms.  I 
could do this fine without any clipboard managers in XQuartz 2.3.1 
(xorg-server 1.4.2-apple17). [I reverted to send this message and just 
Command-V'ed the server's identification from the X11 about box into 
this xterm.]  I logged out after installing the newer versions and 
logged back in, so I do not think that was the problem.  However, I 
would have thought that someone else would have reported having these 
problems by now.  So I wonder whether I have neglected to install some 
part I need.

I also noticed that I could get to a point (happened twice) where the 
new version needed to be forced quit because clicking on windows would 
not raise them.  This happened when switching from Safari to an 
X11 window (or trying to switch).  I had it happen twice before I 
decided to revert to the earlier version (i.e. XQuartz 2.3.1 
(xorg-server 1.4.2-apple17)).
