[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.0_beta4 and beta5

[Peter Collinson]

I pulled beta4 - installed and got the Want to update? message. I said  
yes.
It pulled the update - really slowly as it happened - slowly enough  
that I went away and it snailled into the machine.

Got install and update message.

Said yes.

The main install window appeared under the Install and Update window -  
so I had to move it to proceed.
Focus issues?

Installation happened - but the Install and Update window remained on  
screen - until I quit the X11 that was running (X11=>About was then  
saying beta4). I used X11->Quit to stop it.

However - looking back after the quit = I don't think that I had to  
restart. X11 was *probably* still
running and About is now saying Beta 5.

Sorry I cannot be totally sure that I didn't restart X11 - but I don't  
think I did.

So it looks as if there may be some sequencing issues here. I can  
attempt to repeat this on my other machine - is there something useful  
that I can do to assist before I do that?
