Re: X11 in Leopard: xterm on start-up

But that's not what Dave was suggesting, IIUC.  He was suggesting
that, as a special case, the Apple version of libX11 treat ":0.0" and
other DISPLAY values that normally mean "the local console display"
*as if* they were set to the special launchd format.  Assuming it
could figure out where the launchd socket is....

I assume (and please correct me if I'm wrong) that that "/tmp/XXXXX" is the launchd socket, so its necessary to have it in there for this whole system to work.

FYI I think this system is a great step forward, and can live with minor breakage of stuff like ds9 (I emailed the maintainer BTW to inform him about this) to make this change. As long as the software it breaks is open source then its fine, we can recompile. The only commercial software I use that uses X11 works fine on Leopard (IDL).

However, what I can't live without right now is a broken Spaces/X11 and no middle mouse button emulation. These need to get fixed and fast.

Cheers,

Jamie
