[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.1_alpha1 for SnowLeopard

[Jeremy Huddleston]

So, I finally resolved my build issues.  Here's 2.4.1_alpha1 for  
SnowLeopard.

It makes that ptty resize option on by default to workaround the bug  
in xterm/ptty.
It installs in /opt/X11, /Library/Launch*, /Applications/Utilities/ 
XQuartz.app

This release is the first to allow differnt X11 servers to "own"  
$DISPLAY.  You can pick which X11 server will actually "own" it by  
disabling the others' startx LaunchAgents.  You will notice (after  
logout/login) that $DISPLAY now has "org.macosforge.xquartz" in its  
filename which identifies XQuartz.app as the owner.

That being said, SL's X11 assumes that it owns $DISPLAY.  If you run  
X11.app while it's not the owner, it will actually trigger XQuartz.app  
to start and wait forever for its own startup notification.  Hopefully  
I can get X11 a SoftwareUpdate in a future dot release of OSX to  
update this (or you can do it on your own by copying over a new  
X11.bin into X11.app).

X11 servers that don't "own" DISPLAY will unset DISPLAY and their  
children will continue to use the traditional DISPLAY values (":1", ": 
2", etc).

I did not update the release notes in the .pkg, so you'll need to  
check the site for a full changelog:

Here's the dmg:

Note:
X11 alpha/beta updates will only be released for SL.  rcs will be  
rolled for both Leo and SL.  It's just not worth the extra overhead.

Thanks,
Jeremy
