So... I have "two" releases to announce right now.

2.4.0_beta4 comes at you with the last of the blockers fixed (I think):

freetype was fixed to allow fork()ing apps.
multi-monitor support has been improved (duplicate visuals have been  
removed).
cleaned up some more GLX code
Steam windows run through wine should now participate in Exposé
and support for automatic updates through Sparkle has been added...
xmodmap race is fixed

beta5 is essentially identical to beta4 except for its version  
number...  This difference is in place to test out Sparkle.  I'm able  
to perform an update when I trigger it manually here, but the  
automatic update seems to not be working right now...

I'd like everyone testing this to just install beta4 and hopefully  
beta5 will eventually appear as an update option.  I'd like some  
feedback about that over the next few days.  I'll be releasing  
versions like this in pairs until the automatic updates have been  
debugged.
