[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.6.0_rc1 (for Leopard and Snow Leopard)

[doh123]

I know the display capturing issues are complicated...  I'm going to spend some time on my Christmas vacation trying to dig into Xquartz to learn how it works some more, and see if I can get it working... but no promises, I'm far from an expert, or experienced programmer.  If I find a way to get it working that isn't a hack that just lets it work right for my usage (which would probably be a miracle) I'll definitely share it.  This is just like the number 1 thing holding me back from a Wineskin 2.0 release, which I know isn't your issue... I don't envy you really, as xquartz seemed very complicated in general to me :-)  Had no idea it needed 5 window levels, I assumed it was all done on one, and the guard could be put up, then dropped back a single level and the rest done on the highest.

Thanks though, you do a great job

I tried updating the window level, hiding the guard window, and other tricks with no success.  I haven't given up, but it is not as simple as "just capture the display"
