I have found the last few releases to be extremely stable, but 2.4.0
has introduced an annoying issue with the programs that I use.
These are custom code for radiation transport based on Geant4.
Previously, I could start and stop the transport programs, whether
running on my local Mac, or on a remote linux cluster, arbitrarily and
the program would connect with my local X11 regardless of whether or
not it was running with an icon in the dock. Now everything works fine
the first time I start the program either locally or remotely, but
subsequently it won't work if I have an X icon already in the dock. If
I quit X then everything is ok again. It is as if somehow the server
isn't being found if it's already running.
As I said, everything worked perfectly prior to 2.4.0. I'm running Mac
OS X 1.5.8 and the programs have not been recompiled since I installed
X11 2.4.0. What could be causing this? Could it be a regression in
2.4.0. I'm inclined to think not, since the list has been so quiet.
Surely, everyone would have seen this if it were a real issue with the
new x11.
