Jeremy,

I've been playing this evening and overall, it goes well.  However, I  
have gotten a couple of crashes.  In both cases, I was trying to open  
as many X11 apps as possible (both times it was somewhere between  
12-15 X11 apps with displays open).  In both cases, it is not clear  
that there is any action that will reproduce the crash.

The first was a crash in quartz-wm.  In this case, I was trying to  
pick up and move the qtoctave window that was residing under one of  
the gimp mini-panels, I was a bit sloppy with the mouse and X11  
crashed with the report being quartz-wm (see the attachment).

The second was a crash in X11.bin.  In this case, I was playing with  
xephem for a while, then went to play in gimp and it crashed almost as  
soon as I clicked on the gimp window to bring it forward (see the  
attachment).

Finally, I've noticed that in ImageMagick, the display window and  
panes are painted all black including pop-up menus, etc (I have not  
seen this with any other app thus far).

I also played with the remote display of some legacy X11 apps from a  
Solaris box.  This all went fine without issue.

Overall, it seems to be much faster than 2.3.2.1.

FYI, I'm on a Mac Pro with an ATI 2600 driving dual 23" displays (thus  
far, no issues moving apps between displays, etc).

I'll keep playing over the next several days to see if I can find  
other problems, but from my perspective, 2.4.0 appears to be a good  
start.  Thanks!

Merle
