Oh dear, there must be more people who have X11-Spaces problems!
Yeah, I missed another big one:
2 reports: <rdar://problem/5517854> Spaces: pointer offset is wrong
after dragging X windows between spaces
So, here's a good example of a point I'm going to expand upon in
another thread -- I talked to the Spaces guys, and they graciously
agreed to set up a meeting so we could try to figure these issues
out. The problem is, I don't yet understand the problem well enough
to have anything to ask them.
I'm specifically referring to that last bug, where the pointer offset
is wrong. If someone were looking for a way to help me fix this
without even writing any code, it would be to try to dig through our
code and figure out where it might be calculating this offset -- I'd
then be able to say "this number we're getting from Quartz is wrong,
what is a better way to ask for this number"?
(The other problems are annoying, too, but the pointer-offset one
seems like the best place to start -- why? Because it's something we
should be able to fix in Xquartz, and I'm not even sure I have access
to the source for Spaces.)
