Hello,
I just wanted to also extend my gratitude to you Ben! This software
makes my working life a lot more efficient and it gives me the
opportunity to use unix apps in a beautiful environment :)
Thank you once again and it is a joy to behold that people like you
actively make this software and maintain it.
Cheers
Marc

Thanks to all for the kind words, it means a lot me; I'm glad to see
people finding this software useful.

Ben,
I would like to thank you for these quick patches. I can tell by
your posting time that you are truly burning the midnight oil
working on these. I have a few dozen physicists that rely on
X11.app to run applications like IDL, Matlab, and many custom X
apps. These fixes will allow them to migrate to Leopard and enjoy
all the other new features in the new OS. Thank you again for the
hard work.

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)
