Ben,

It does but it is weird. You can't quickly double click the exact same place on the icon in the dock. You have to click once and let X11 become the app in the menubar and then click again someplace else on the icon. You can also click once on the window you want to bring forward to select X11 as the active app and then click the icon in the dock.

David.

Does clicking on the X11 icon in the dock, twice, bring the windows to the front again? I'm surprised to hear that this makes focus more broken than it was before. :(

Have trying this new Xquartz I can never bring my X windows to the front again after promoting an Aqua window. They get focus but don't raise. FYI, these windows use Xview.

I've reverted to the old.

Thanks,

I'll try to do this as I have time. To answer the question that I know I will be asked -- no, I can't comment as to if or when these changes might make it into an official update. I can, however, say that I would like for them to, and that the more testing these patches receive, the more compelling a case I can make toward that end.

So, this is not an official Apple release -- this is from Ben, the XDarwin maintainer.

xorg-server-1.2a2 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.


* "Fake mouse button" fix -- this only fixes a subtle bug with button 2 (Command-ciick). When I run xev and option-click in the box, it shows that the server is interpreting this as button 3. I would expect this to let me paste into an xterm, but that doesn't work, and I don't know why, so I can't fix it. Any insight into this would be appreciated.

Then, (re)start X11.app.
