[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.7.0_beta2 screen jumping with unison

I have XQuartz 2.7.0_beta2 on 10.6.8 on a MacBookAir (first
model), and unison 2.40.1 installed through fink (so it has
a gtk interface I believe, not a native mac one). I have
six Spaces configured with various X clients open on four of
them. When I invoke unison (at a prompt in an xterm) and it
opens the GUI windows (two of them, one to pick the
profile), Spaces immediately switches to the previous Space
I was using with X clients open on it. Which is really
annoying, but not actually unusable. Is there anything I
can do to stop this happening? Is it something to do with
my set up or is it a known bug? It doesn't happen on my
newer MacBookAir, also 10.6.8 but with Xquartz 2.3.6 (as
came with SL I think).
It isn't the only annoying thing I have: when I switch
between different Spaces, quite often the window layering of
X windows flips front to back, but the mouse or keystrokes
still go into what used to be the front window. I have ffm
enabled, so it is particularly noticable, because the mouse
is in a different window, it is still behaving according to
the original ordering. But surely ffm isn't causing the
window layering to flip, which would be annoying even
without ffm? And this happens on both MacAirs.
many thanks,
