[Xquartz-dev] quartz-wm appearence

[doh123]

ahhh… thanks! thats great.. didn't know it was libXplugin.  Just used native libXplugin on the system and the windows look fine… was using a version from 10.5.  This is because "WineskinX11" (my build of Xquartz) is portable and moves from location to location bundled inside an app, and doesn't use the system X11 files, so I had to modify all kinda libraries to get things working perfectly…. but since I made it all up as I went without understanding why some things worked and didn't work, libXplugin was a bit sloppy  :-)
