Re: AW: SV: focus failure with x11 and Mac OS X 10.5

There is arguably no such thing as an "XDMCP display". XDMCP is

finished, there is (or should be) no difference between an X
session that you got with xdmcp from another X session that you
get from a direct X connection.

But I do see your point. With xdmcp, the most straightforward
setup would be run everything on the remote server. This is not
necessarily true (e.g., you can set it up so that the window
manager is on the local system; there are a couple of ways to do
this), but it is indeed the most normal / most common case.
But someone tells you that an application "must" run like this
then you can reasonably say that this borders on abuse.

Yes. By "XDMCP display" I really mean something like Xephyr, which you start up with XDMCP to connect to some remote server. The typical arrangement is to dedicate a server (which is a client of your actual, local X server) to the remote system, which then takes over window management and all that fancy garbage.
