X11/Spaces thinks X11 windows are overlapping on different Spaces

Hi,

First of all, thanks a lot to Ben for his tireless work in getting X11 working on Leopard! I've following progress closely and as a result of the bug fixes have now reinstalled Leopard X11 on my MBP, after having Tiger X11 on it for the last week or so.

I believe I have found the main issue I have with Leopard X11 and Spaces. Specifically it would appear that Spaces does not like X11 windows to be in the same location of the screen on different Spaces.

I can reproduce the following everytime with Xquartz 1.2a7:

1. Create 2 xterm windows.
2. Move the 2nd to another space, but put it in the same location as the first window.
3. The window in the 2nd Space should be selected at this point, go back to the first space and without moving the mouse button, click on the xterm window: Nothing happens.


You cannot click on the xterm at any point where the 2 windows overlap (if you transpose the 2 spaces). All events including mouse clicks will go to the currently focused window, regardless of what Space it is on.

You can see this also if you have 2 xterms on 2 screens, one positioned halfway down the other. If the lower one is focused, and you go back to the screen with the higher one. Click on the bottom of the xterm and nothing will happen, keep clicking higher until you reach the point at which the 2 xterms don't overlap, and the xterm will focus.

Hope this helps. I really feel like Leopard X11 is almost there, apart from this one major focus/spaces issue.

Cheers,

Jamie
