Hey, all,
For the last few revisions of the OS, I've had a problem with external
monitors and X11 -- I run X11 on a MacBook Pro with a 1600x1200
external monitor attached. If I attach the external monitor (which
gets the menu bar when attached) then X11 ignores all keystrokes and
mouse clicks when the cursor outside the area of the laptop's built-in
monitor (as displaced to the large external monitor). This means, for
example, that if I am drawing with GIMP or Inkscape, I can't make a
mark outside the upper-left two thirds of my external monitor.
Likewise, long menu bars and large windows thoroughly confuse X11.
The workaround is to restart X11 (and therefore ditch all my open
windows) every time I plug in the monitor.
Do others have this problem? I've filed bug reports with Apple, but
that is about as effective as shouting down a deep hole.
