Jeremy,
   The beta5 upgrade with Sparkle is working fine here. Have you
considered extending the Xorg Sparkle code to allow it to be automatically
triggered in the case where a system Software Update has replaced
X11 files from the current Xquartz release with those from an older
release? This would be a very useful feature since many users
may forget to reinstall Xorg after the system Software Updates
are installed.
