With Mac OS X 10.5 Apple uses the launch deamon to launch X11. This
means that any app needing X11 now starts X11 on its own. It's no
longer necessary to check if X11 is already launched or to launch
X11 and the app afterwards.
That's true only as long as it's a C-based app linked with Apple's
version's of the Xlib (either dynamically or statically) running on
the local machine. ...
I should clarify my predicament. I use X11 to do X forwarded sessions
over SSH. The new fangled "X launches automatically" doesn't help me
at all because what I really really want out of X11, is a terminal to
type "ssh -Y blah blah blah". The problem I have is that when I
launch X11 2.2.3, and then try to launch a terminal window by cmd-n,
or from the X11 menu, or from the X11 dock icon, __nothing happens__.
No terminal launches. I have to quit and restart X11 until it finally
does launch (today it was 5 times). Interestingly, I then get a whole
stack of terminals (if I tried 10 times, I get 10 terminals when they
finally decided to show up for me). Additionally, the windows first
appear with out any borders, stuck in the upper left corner -- it
takes a few seconds but the border eventually comes on -- I might hit
expose to get that to happen but I'm not positive of that.
And, sigh, __also__, the old problem of focus is back where I have to
move my windows around so that they aren't overlapping in any of the
areas I might be clicking.
The new icon for X11 is also too dark -- it gets lost in the dock.
Anything else I can complain about?
