[Xquartz-dev] XQuartz 2.7.2 beta5

[Viv Kendon]

I just woke my iMac from sleep and opened another X11 window 
using the Applications menu - it appeared just fine, but 
mouse and keyboard input was having no effect on any of the 
X11 windows.  Nothing in the Console logs, I eventually 
tried Hiding (cmd-H) X11 then reselecting it from the dock, 
which unjammed whatever was jammed and (at least some of) 
the pending keyboard/mouse events appeared in the windows.

I will let you know if this happens again/is reproducible.

I think I've seen something similar in the past, because the 
hiding trick to unjam it I've used successfully before.  So 
this may not be specific to beta5.  I do regularly unlock 
the screen (not wake from sleep, just unlock) and find that 
only mouse works, no keyboard.  That's easily fixed by 
locking and unlocking a second time, and I don't think it is 
X11 specific.  This was different, the menus worked but not 
the X11 windows, and other Apps were fine.

I have a network home dir that might be part of triggering 
these things, if the read from some config file in my home 
dir is slower than expected so some events gets out of 
order?

The only blocker that I'm aware of at this point is addressing some bad scrolling behavior with some older mice (http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/562).  This may just end up being a preference since the solution will probably be reverting to the older behavior which was a gross hack =/
