I've filed a bug report for the middle mouse button click, thanks for
pointing that out.
However I actually think a far more serious question is the
interaction of Spaces and X11 which to be completely honest, is
utterly broken. I've reported this bug with an explanation of how to
reproduce is (ID #5564366). I think getting Spaces and X11 to play
well together is a very high priority, mainly because those of us who
were UNIX types that moved to Mac are used to having Virtual Desktops
that work (I've been using Desktop Manager on OS X for the last few
years), and right now Leopard doesn't have that.
Out of interest, it looks like quartz-wm hasn't been touched in a
while, it still has the Tiger style window decorations and drop
shadows on Leopard for example. Is an update in the works? I ask
because I wonder if the issues with Spaces can be resolved by updating
quartz-wm.
I've got to report to my IT manager tomorrow that he can't go ahead
and install Leopard on our Macs (all scientific workstations used for
Astrophysics research, so a lot of X11 use) because of the X11 issues.
Shame really because the rest of the UNIX stuff in Leopard is great (I
particularly like the fact its a damn sight easier to do NFS exports
now for example).
Cheers,
Jamie
