[Xquartz-dev] focus-related regression with XQuartz 2.7.3+

[Marc Bejarano]

hi, again.

i didn't get any response to my plea back in may and jeremy tells me that
he's too busy at work on other things to look into this.  i'd be thrilled
to work out a mutually beneficial arrangement with any other developer to
reward her for her time, monetarily or otherwise.  this issue has been
plaguing me for far too long.

if any of you are interested, please call or text me at +1 415 787 2335.

cheers,
marc
