Wow, a success story? Maybe you could help us out and explore the
differences between your setup and the default Tiger one. Apple
claims that they can't figure out this problem, either (response to
bug report in Apple forums).

Hmm, this is odd. I was so excited after reading this, I whipped out
the ibook, and tried this out in my .xinitrc. Unfortunately, it
didn't make any difference. Has anybody else had any luck with this?

This may imply something different with the X11 installation. My
original .xinitrc had the quotes, and the only problem was the Cmd-Tab
issue. Maybe this implies that you have a different version running?
Did you upgrade Tiger from Panther? If so, did you re-install the
Tiger X11, or stick with the Panther one? Or, did you install X via
fink, DarwinPorts or any of the other options?
I'm sorry to hammer you like this, but as you can probably see, I have
found this problem extremely frustrating. If we can possibly diagnose
this problem, I will take the steps in notifying the Apple forums and
Apple themselves of our fix.
Thanks in advance!
