Hi,
I'm having what I think is a problem with X11, XQuartz 2.3.2 (really
2.3.2.1, but the "About" window doesn't include the .1), xorg-server
1.4.2-apple31.
The problem is in use of the popular program Synergy (c.f.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) which allows me to share a mouse and
keyboard across two systems as if I had one system with two monitors, but
each system is running its own stuff.
[snip]
I'd guess that this is a problem with synergy rather than a problem
with X11 or the apple X11 system...but I am emailing this list in case
anybody has any ideas or has had this problem before. As mentioned, this
problem only occurs in X11 windows...and it's not always a problem
(sometimes keypresses do not stick).

Adam,
You need to enable XTEST I believe. xdpyinfo will tell you if it's enabled.
I seem to recall that Jeremy added something at my request, after I
pointed out how important XTEST was. It was disabled by default for
security reasons. I originally had some ideas of testing XQuartz in a
more automated way, but I never got around to implementing those
ideas, due to time constraints.
I have some experience with XTEST because I wrote some code that is
used by myself and others for recording, and playing back events with
it via scripts. I used it for a test framework.
Jeremy, do you recall what the option was or defaults write command was?
George
