xorg-server-1.2a3 contains fixes for the following issues:

* Yellow / invisible cursor on Intel platform

* Unable to drag windows between screens

* X11 apps don't "honor" the menu bar (meaning you can drag them underneath)

* Badly-formatted .xinitrc warning message

* Customized Apps menu items with arguments did not work

* Modifier keys (shift, control, etc) would get stuck if you switch away from X11 while holding down the key. If you still see this problem with anything other than Spaces (which is an entirely more complicated problem), please let me know.

NEW:

* "Fake mouse button" fix -- Option-click should now emulate the middle mouse button, while Command-click should emulate the right mouse button

* stability fixes (added -DROOTLESS_WORKAROUND and fixed overflow bug with QueryFontReply)
