[Xquartz-dev] request for some help with testing spaces related issues

I have some spaces-related fixes that I'd like some of you to try.  I  
don't want to include this in 2.3.1 this late into the release cycle,  
so this is probably going to find its way into 2.3.2 beta to make sure  
there's no adverse effects I don't notice... in any event, here's how  
to get the updates:

Start with 2.3.1_rc5, then replace libXplugin.1.dylib with a  
decompressed:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/PR-5880329/libXplugin.1.dylib.bz2

And /usr/bin/quartz-wm with a decompressed:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/PR-5880329/quartz-wm.bz2

mkdir PR-5880329
cd PR-5880329
wget http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/PR-5880329/libXplugin.1.dylib.bz2
wget http://people.freedesktop.org/~jeremyhu/PR-5880329/quartz-wm.bz2
bunzip2 libXplugin.1.dylib.bz2
bunzip2 quartz-wm.bz2
sudo cp libXplugin.1.dylib /usr/lib
sudo cp quartz-wm /usr/bin


----

This should address some parenting issues.  Open windows not moving  
spaces with their parent, etc.

I know that the xemacs menus appearing in the original space issue is  
still there, but I'm more concerned about testing for possible  
regressions.  Let me know if you come across any or your feelings  
about how this compares with the current experience with X11 and spaces.

Thanks,
Jeremy
