Yes, the 100% CPU bug is gone. Now I can start MATLAB on demand, and
not worry about remembering to pre-start the X server! This is by far
the greatest release yet. However, I still have the stuck modifier
issue, but that is a very minor problem.
Thanks!

I spent most of today trying to isolate the cause of the "Xquartz
chews up 100% CPU when I run xauth / ssh / xdpyinfo" bug -- I
believe I fixed it. The fix was made in libXtrans -- http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/lib/libxtrans.git;a=commit;h=cd1da5cec49fb7fe6238a00d9ba550b3ed78fa08
-- which is then compiled as part of Xquartz.
I know that my last big change from 1.2a9 (the stuck modifier fix)
didn't seem to fix the problem for anyone else, which suggests to me
that I goofed and uploaded the wrong binary. (I had quite a bit of
difficulty getting 1.2a9 to work correctly, and rebuilt it 10 or so
times...)
So, I'd appreciate it if those who have continued to experience the
stuck modifier key issue would try this 1.2a10 -- Xquartz-1.2a10.bz2
- and if that doesn't fix the problem, I'll add in some special
debugging code for 1.2a11. And for the rest of you, this should
hopefully fix the 100% CPU problem -- if you haven't seen this
problem, the easiest way to trigger the bug (and test the fix) is to
run "xdpyinfo; xdpyinfo; xdpyinfo" from Terminal.app with X11.app
not already running. If you land back at a shell prompt almost
immediately, you should be good to go.
