Why are you not able to get it to build right for you?  That's surely something we can solve.  Take a look at:

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/browser/trunk/compile-xserver.sh

If I have quartz-wm actually working instead of just loaded… the problem does not seem to be happening.  I'd love to leave it on all the time, but quartz-wm always crashes every program going from Windows to fullscreen mode,

really?  how so?  do you have crash reports?  What's going on?  It seems to work for me here with quake 2.

I wonder how the 1.9 branch brings everything to the front and works right without quartz-wm, yet 1.11.1 requires it… I might never figure it out if I don't take the time to do a bisect, but I've found many other issues affecting me without doing so, but in those I had a clue where to start looking, and the only place I know of with some Mouse handling code is in darwin.c, and it does have some major changes since the 1.9 branch.

Please at least try 1.10.0 and 1.10.4.

X11.app just changes the preference option and pokes quartz-wm to re-read its preferences.  click-through is a WM option (not just quartz-wm, but WMs in general).  focus on new windows is an Xquartzism that is handled by quartz-wm.

All the same settings, file libraries everything, only changing the server executable.  Its driving me crazy… I'm guessing somewhere between the two something major changed that doesn't affect normal launching of the server, but with the weird way I launch it, its having a problem.  I'm just not sure where in the source to actually look for where this would be handled so if I can find something to modify to fix it, then I will.
