Here's an outsider's perspective, but one who has been following the
list with interest since the Leopard release:
Spaces are not yet expected to work with X11. There are higher
priority basic functionality bugs being addressed, as well as an
effort to catch up with the rest of the open-source code base.
Whether it can be fixed quickly or not depends on how those other
efforts go, and more fundamentally, on whether it can be fixed in the
open source components of X11 itself or not: There may be issues in
elements of the Apple-proprietary libXplugin, or in Spaces itself,
which would leave you at the mercy of Apple's own development and
release schedule. (And if that's the case, Ben's doing great things on
the X side, but the Spaces world is outside of even his control.)

Hi Guys,
This was a timely post - I've been experiencing the same really
frustrating issue with this version for a couple days but wanted to
put some cycles into investigating it further before adding my 2
cents worth. I'm running an IC layout package (Cadence Virtuoso) on
a linux box and xdisplaying all the windows back on my dual screen
MacBook Pro system. I have a 2x2 matrix of Spaces and X11 is
configured for space 4. A section of the screen in the X11 space
showing a couple of the Cadence windows is shown in the attached
file 'Cadence Snapshot'. Note that the window on the right contains
a vertical graphics toolbar, shown in attachment 'Toolbar'.
Now here's the frustrating thing that I believe is new to 2.1.2. I
marked the outline of the toolbar on the monitor. Now if the mouse
passes over that marked toolbar region IN ANY SPACE then I am
instantly taken back to the X11 space.
Can this please be fixed quickly! It makes working in all other
spaces almost impossible.
Thanks,
Mick
