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

[Jeremy Huddleston]

I built a quartz-wm for you for Tiger.  I haven't tested it, and I  
don't guarantee that it won't cause problems, so please backup your  
existing quartz-wm.

Here it is:
http://static.macosforge.org/xquartz/downloads/quartz-wm-1.0.0-Tiger.bz2

Download it, decompress it, and replace /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm with  
it.

Then you should be able to enable the pasteboard proxying in the new  
X11 on Tiger, since this replacement quartz-wm should behave nicely.
