Hi Guys, it's been awhile since I have posted. Most of the problems I had early on have been solved for the most part. I am now back on Leopard (10.5.2) with the lastest available 1.4 rc1 X installed. The problem I am noticing which has been around since Leopard came out is this.
I use rdesktop a lot for managing some remote Windows machines. Lets say I have 2 or 3 rdesktop windows open and one is current and active. If I use Expose to view all windows, click with the mouse to select another rdesktop X window, then try and click on the selected rdesktop X window, focus returns the the previously focused rdesktop X window. I have to move the previous X window over so I can click on the other desired X window so my clicks do not "go behind" to the other X window. If I use the "Windows" menu for the X11 app and choose the other rdesktop X window to change to, the focus issue does not exist.
I hope this makes sense and is not a repeat of something someone has already posted. Thanks for any help with this problem. I hate to say it, but it is very annoying. The good news I can report, is that I can run my rdesktop windows using -a 16 with very few crashes if ever. My friend at work has also noticed much improved stability with X on Leopard. We used to have so many crashes with X, that we moved back to Tiger. Now we are back on Leopard and only have a crash about once every couple of days. It usually seems to happen with copy/paste operations as far as I can tell.
Thanks,
Jesse
