The DDX is nearly identical to the version shipped in 2.5.0, but we've updated the rest of the server code to the 1.8 branch.  Additionally, I've pulled in a newer version of mesa (7.8) and rebased the HW-accelerated libGL against that new version.  libpng-1.4.1 is included and default.  cairo-1.8.10 is included and using the new libpng.

Jeremy,
   Could you roll a Xquartz-2.5.1_beta2 release which is synchronized to the
current xorg/mesa packages in MacPorts? I could use that with the standalone
evaluation copy of x11-pymol-0.99 under 10.6 to verify that the issue was
fixed by those changes. I see this lag with the current X11 in darwin9 and
darwin10 with all the recent X11 and Xquartz releases up to the most recent
MacPort's updates (which including mesa+hw 7.8.1). The lag occurs in all
X11 pymol builds (evaluation, MacPorts and fink).
        Thanks in advance.
                        Jack
