Don't be so harsh for the X11.app developers. I agree it's too bad
that this bug was not fixed (although they have done some work
integrating with CDV, but not all the way, unless we are mistaken),
but the whole thing (especially the openGL acceleration) is still a
very nice piece of work. and it's only 0.2.
I didn't mean to imply that it was useless to anyone. It is useless
to me since I can't have
xterms on multiple desktops. I think X11.app is pretty great for what
it does so far and the improvements
its made on speed and integration. Thats why I joined the list and
will keep trying it until it works.
Back to the problem. I'm trying to figure out why you cannot have 2
xterms, 2 desktops, one on each. I just tried a simple test. I'm
probably not trying what you want to do, but here I go:
[TEST #1...xterm vs. Terminal.app]
Open CodeTek virtual desktop w/ 2 desktops
Open Terminal.app
Open X11.app
Open 2 Terminal.app windows & 2 xterms. Drag one of each to the other
virtual desktop.
Select the visible xterm. type CMD-` to switch to the other xterm.
type 'pwd<enter>'.
Select the visible Terminal.app window, type CMD-`, type 'pwd<enter>'
now move to the other desktop. both Terminal.app and xterm work in the
same way: the non-visible window became selected and allowed you to
type 'pwd' in there.
[TEST #2...TextEdit]
Try this. Open up TextEdit in one virtual desktop. Now go to the
other virtual desktop (cannot see TextEdit window) and select the
TextEdit icon from the dock. Type anything you want. Switch back to
the first desktop and I see my typing in TextEdit.
is this what you mean? am I missing something? I am using virtual
desktop 2.1. I'm now installing 2.1.4 and will retest, so I do not
know if it will change anything. I cannot see a Virtual Desktop
preference that says "don't allow non-visible windows to be selected",
so I'm presuming I'm not missing a pref setting. (I'm not trying to
nit-pick: just want to make sure I'm not missing a setting or something
because I don't have VirtDesktop very customized).
My thought is that Terminal.app, TextEdit.app, Mail.app, etc. are all
equally broken like X11.app. In other words, the focus of non-visible
windows seems to be fairly standard and that OroborOSX did something
different than standard OSX applications. 99% of the apps work just
like X11.
