[Xquartz-dev] keyboard/mouse focus issues

[Jeremy Huddleston]

hrm... ok.  Thanks for the info.  I'll be building some versions of  
the server incrementally from what was released in alpha1 through what  
is in alpha3 and will let you know when they're available... hopefully  
with these we can atleast hone in on the problematic change.

In the mean time, can you atleast confirm two things for me?

1) Test my xkb hunch:
Install alpha3
Nuke the /opt/X11/share/X11/xkb directory
Does the problem go away? (note that the 1.7 server will fail to  
startup this way)

2) Ensure it is actually a server bug:
Install alpha1.
Backup its X11.bin
   cp /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin /tmp/ 
X11.bin.alpha1
Install alpha3
Restore alpha1's X11.bin
   sudo cp /tmp/X11.bin.alpha1 /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
Nuke the /opt/X11/share/X11/xkb directory (important since alpha1's  
X11.bin fails keymapping if that directory is in place)

The resulting install *should* work if my assumption is correct that  
it's a server related issue

Thanks,
Jeremy
