[Xquartz-dev] High CPU load on Mac OS X 10.4

[Jeremy Huddleston]

One issue on Tiger is that it's using an old quartz-wm which might be  
causing a weird race with NSPasteboard (it shouldn't though).  Could  
you try disabling the pasteboard proxying in X11->Preferences- 
 >Pasteboard to see if that has any impact?
