Hello-

I'm very new to this list, so sorry if I am re-asking questions that have been answered to death here, but I was unable to find any obviously up-to-date answers by searching through the list archive.

I upgraded to Leopard last week and it's been a bit of a disaster for my X11 apps. So far, I've upgraded to the very latest X11 2.1.2 release (as of Friday), but it hasn't resolved my problems.

Mainly, I would like to be able to use multiple desktops and X11 and have things function in a useable, predictable manner. Leopard seems to break earlier third-party multiple-desktop applications, like Desktop Manager, so it seems I'm stuck with Spaces. Using X11 with Spaces, I get the random desktop-switching and focus problems that people have been complaining about. I also seem to have a problem with focusing on an emacs window if I select it using Exposé (this problem doesn't seem to occur with other X11 windows I've tried).

As of early November, the suggestion was to reinstall Tiger's X11 to resolve some of these issues. Is that still the best course of action? And will doing that make Spaces behave itself? I'm afraid if I can't get functional multiple desktops, I may have to revert to Tiger completely, but I'm hoping to avoid that, since Leopard does have a number of useful improvements otherwise.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
