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

[Marc Bejarano]

hi all,

just an update on this issue.  i tried to have a dialog with ken about the
possibility of his taking me up on my offer, but he went AWOL.  since then,
i upgraded to Mavericks and haven't seen the problem since.  i doubt the
underlying bug has been squashed, but i'm pretty thrilled with the current
wallpaper covering it, for now :)
