[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.0_beta4 and beta5

[Gideon Simpson]

One issue with the updating mechanism.  I started my auto update to  
beta 5, but then had to move my laptop, so I put it into sleep mode.   
When I subsequently turned the machine back on, the auto update quit  
without finishing and it has not subsequently asked to update itself.
