What does the "option for no-click-to-focus" do? Enable mouse
placement-focus? How
do we activate the option?
Thanks...

Frequently Asked Questions for X11 for Mac OS X Beta 2 (Part 1 of 2)
Changes in v0.2:
Added support for Gnome, KDE hints - so all windows will not have
window decoration.
Focused windows were not being checked in the "Window" menu.
Application windows will now cascade instead of piling on top of each
if they do not have an explicit placement policy.
Added /usr/include/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 symlinks.
Added: X11's menu in the Dock now shows a list of X11 windows.
Added support for Copy & Paste working with other window managers.
Running "quartz-wm --only-proxy" will activate the selection proxying
features, but none of the window management code.
Added an option for no-click-to-focus : "defaults write com.apple.x11
wm_ffm true"
Added support for move window events from CodeTek's VirtualDesktop.
Added support to respect the Mac OS X's International keyboard
mapping. This is the default.
Added support for keymappings from /System/Library/Keyboards . This
can be activated using : " defaults write com.apple.x11 keymap_file
Francais.keymapping "
Added support for -iconic . E.g. xterm -iconic now puts the xterm into
the Dock on launch.
Added new preference options to control xauth usage.
Fixed problem where menubar can obscure windows from other window
managers besides quartz-wm.
Fixed problem where iconified windows get de-iconified when traversing
with cmd-backtick.
Fixed problems with "Hide" and "Show" menus not working with X11
windows.
Fixed problem where minimized windows did not appear correctly in the
Dock or the genie effect did not work.
Fixed problem where minimized windows continue to stay in the Dock
after quitting X11.
Fixed problem where quartz-wm ignored PPosition window positions.
Fixed crash when launching xnest.
Fixed crash of window server when moving a large xeyes window.
Fixed problem where cmd-Q was passed to underlying X11 windows.
Fixed crash in fbBlt when clicking on any X window.
Fixed crash in fbPolySegment16 when in Thousands of color Mode.
Fixed problem where quartz-wm looses ConfigureNotifyevents.
Fixed problem where cmd-q while Dock cmd-TAB is highlighting X11.app
kills it.
Fixed wrong install_names for X libs. You may have to recompile your
existing applications.
Fixed locale mechanism so that XIM works.
OpenGL: Fixed garbage when resizing GLX applications such as glxgears.
OpenGL: Disabled vbl syncing for GL applications. Framerates should no
longer be pegged to display frequency.
OpenGL: Fixed crash in hash_table_lookup when launching OpenGL
applications.
Some known issues:
X11 clients do not appear as separate applications in the dock and
when using Command-Tab to move through applications.
A zombie process is created when shutting down X11 and restarting.
Resource usage is minimal though. Work around: log out and log back > in.
Cmd-V doesn't work in X11 applications by design - use the paste
paradigm specific to the X11 application. e.g. use middle mouse button
or control-v instead.
OpenGL : off screen rendering is currently not supported.
OpenGL : XInputExtension is not yet implemented. Maya and some GLUT
applications require this extension.
OpenGL : Cannot launch OpenGL applications unless the user is root or
the current logged in user in Mac OS X.
Some known common feature requests:
Ability to route a mouse click to the X11 root window using a modifier
key.
Virtual Desktop facility in X11 or in Mac OS X.
Add the Applications menu to the X11 icon in the Dock. Also associate
shortcuts like Cmd-1 for the first entry, etc.
Resize handle is a square and too big. Make it triangular.
Modify /usr/bin/open-X11 to launch the X server if not running before
launching an X Windows application. Or automatically launch X11 Server
if an X connection is being made.
