Hi,
Many apologies if these issues have been covered somewhere in the
deluge of the past month...I've only been trolling subjects most of the
time.
I'm currently using the 2.1.1 package downloaded from
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki ...I assume staying
"current" with X11.pkg is all I need to do to be "current."
Anyway, first I'd like to say, "Awesome!" on fixing the bug which
had multiple x11 icons in the dock; now there's only one, and when I click
it, all of my x11 apps come forward. Great job!
However, I have three current issues with X11 that I'm hoping
someone could help me with:
1. Sometimes X11 seems to crash or freeze, with the following
symptoms: I cannot click into an X window, clicking the dock icon does not
bring the windows forward, and I cannot even move x windows around. The
windows are not exactly "dead," as they continue to display what they should
(i.e., if I leave a program compiling, the output is still visible on any
x11 window that is visible). The only way I have been able to "fix" it is
via force quit. I haven't been able to identify a cause for this; sometimes
X11 will run for days and then crap out...so really, I'm just hoping this
description of symptoms jogs someone's memory.
2: Another issue is that my .Xresources is not being read consistently.
This is to say, I have
xterm*foreground: white
xterm*background: black
...as the first two items, and it does not always produce black xterms when
opening, though it sometimes does. I also can't identify a consistent cause
for this behavior.
3: Focus just...drops sometimes. Like, I'll be typing, and then the
window loses focus, and then the window regains focus. Not a huge deal, but
I'm losing several keystrokes...I'd really like to know where they're going.
This could, of course, not be X11's fault, but I'm not using any new
applications...
Many thanks,
Adam Kramer
