I'm pleased to announce that I've posted source and binaries on http://www.x.org/wiki/XDarwin

for Xquartz 1.2a7. Since 1.2a6,

the following issues have been resolved:

* JIS (Japanese) keyboards are now correctly detected by X11.

* Xvfb and Xnest now compile cleanly; I have not tested them, but

binaries are available at http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/

* The "offset-pointer"/"ghost window" bug with Spaces has been

resolved correctly (this is my second attempt).  This means you can

now use the F8 function to zoom out and drag a window from one Space

to another with your mouse.  Unfortunately, due to a known issue in

Spaces itself, you can not drag X11 windows to the edge of the screen

to move them to the next screen.

* A focus problem was fixed -- previously, clicking on an X11 window

that was behind an Aqua window would not always bring the X11 window

to the foreground (but clicking on any other X11 window usually

would.)  I'm sure I'll be proven wrong, but at the moment I have fixed

all of the focus problems that I know about.

Thanks a lot for the new release of the Xquartz (not to mention the  
previous ones!). I have just tested it, and unfortunately (at least in  
my case) the focus problem persists. Let's hope that 1.2a8 does the  
trick!
