Basically, the mouse and keyboard focus is not on new windows right after the server starts, until one window is clicked on first (which doesn't register as a click in the program).  I admit I've not build or tested this in 1.10, but it did not happen in the 1.9 branch for sure, and it does not happen in the 1.11.1 builds in Xquartz 2.7.0beta.  I've checked all the main plist settings, including focusing on new windows, and click through and everything, and they make no difference.

Are you sure quartz-wm and your X11.app are in sync wrt which preference domain to use?  Try passing --prefs-domain to quartz-wm to be certain.  It sounds like it is just using different values for wm_focus_on_new_window and wm_click_through than you expect.

> Is there some other patches you have used in making 2.7.0beta2 that might be helping this thats not listed in the portfile in Macports?  I thought the problem might be in darwin.c and had been looking through, but after I saw 2.7.0 did NOT have the same problem and was the same xorg-server, I'm confused why this is happening to me when I build it myself.  Any suggestions of where to look to fix the problem would be appreciated, as I know very little about how its initializing or handling the mouse and keyboard focus.

Nope. These are all the patches that are used.  They are all present in opensource.apple.com's versions of X11, and most are already in git.  I'll happily send you any of them if you need them, but there's nothing really special.  We've been building off of master for everything except mesa for about 2 years now (and mesa as of a few months ago):
