Re: Diff of hacked-up patch to make X11 windows come to the front

Hi there,

Remembering that 10.4.3 fixed this problem, I diff'ed its X11 with 10.4.2's and noticed that they added a new function that gets called every time X11 is brought to the front. I then spent a little time trying to fit it into the new source. Not knowing anything about X or Quartz programming, I'm sure pretty much everything about it is wrong, but it does seem to work (at least for me). :-)

Hope this is helpful to somebody.

This is exactly the kind of thing I'm hoping to see. I spent the first 4 months doing just this -- comparing versions of X11, trying to figure out what functions moved, what functions changed names, what patches were needed and which weren't, etc. It's tedious work, and not necessarily horribly technical -- and certainly not glamorous.


Excellent detective work, and thanks for being brave and submitting the first patch!

I'll try to roll a new source / binary this weekend, after I make some other misc changes -- right now, there'd be no difference between what I put up and the binary you posted.
