Just for fun, here are the top twenty bug reports we've received about X11:

2 5517966 n/a no Spaces does not take me to correct desktop when I click on X11 icon
2 5564271 n/a no Cannot drag X11 windows to other spaces (via edge of screen)

Oh dear, there must be more people who have X11-Spaces problems!

Yeah, I missed another big one:
2 reports: <rdar://problem/5517854> Spaces: pointer offset is wrong after dragging X windows between spaces


So, here's a good example of a point I'm going to expand upon in another thread -- I talked to the Spaces guys, and they graciously agreed to set up a meeting so we could try to figure these issues out. The problem is, I don't yet understand the problem well enough to have anything to ask them.

I'm specifically referring to that last bug, where the pointer offset is wrong. If someone were looking for a way to help me fix this without even writing any code, it would be to try to dig through our code and figure out where it might be calculating this offset -- I'd then be able to say "this number we're getting from Quartz is wrong, what is a better way to ask for this number"?

(The other problems are annoying, too, but the pointer-offset one seems like the best place to start -- why? Because it's something we should be able to fix in Xquartz, and I'm not even sure I have access to the source for Spaces.)
