I fall into the category of happy with X11 1.0, but I basically open
xterms, use a text editor (NOT emacs), and occasionally display an X app
from a Sun Box on my Mac. I guess I just don't push it as far as most, so
I'm satisfied with its performance.
Anyway, just to address the 2 points above, I've found that cut & paste
work ok, if not perfectly. If you copy from any Aqua application, then
use the middle mouse button in X, it pastes. If you use Apple-C for copy
in an X app, then use Apple-V to paste into any aqua app, it works for me
if I hit Apple-V twice. So, not perfect, but ok.
As far as point 6, what is so bad about the customize menu editor? You
add a menu item by giving it a name, and an X command, like:
B&W Xterm xterm -fg white -bg black
The shortcut option allows you to set a keyboard shortcut, so if you want
Apple-B to stand for open black xterm, you type a "b" in the shortcut
cell.
Just my $0.02.
