Gimp crash bug fixed was: Re: Gimp crashing

First of all, thanks to Ben for doing such a great job in making X useable again.

Because Gimp is one of the applications I like most (and using most) I did take a look at the Gimp sources and hoping to give some small hints to make Gimp running again.

I've found out, that there's a newer version  of libX11 (libX11-1.1.3.tar.bz2) on ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual 

The ChangeLog mentions a fix in XGetMotionEvents() about the order of arguments. Maybe this new declaration is somehow related to Gimp crashing on draging the mouse.

The new declaration of XGetMotionEvents() is

XTimeCoord *XGetMotionEvents(

    register Display *dpy,

    Window w,

    Time start, 

    Time stop,

    int *nEvents)  /* RETURN */

{

I've tried to compile the source from ftp.x.org but did get some errors when starting Gimp, so I think I'm missing some patches from Apple I don't have.

So, is there maybe somebody else (Ben ?) who can try if this will fix this issue?

PS: Sorry for my broken english....
