I tried changing both the CFBundleName and CFBundleGetInfoString from "X11" to "X11-OpenVMS-CDE" and I still only see "X11" in the menu bar, even after a shutdown and reboot. Any other ideas?
Also, I see messages when I start up some X11 client applications on the remote host (with the remote window manager in control) that some fonts are missing. How would I best go about getting these fonts "known" to the XQuartz 2.3.2.1 X11 server?

Does that mean that at the operating system level there is no way to "teach" it a "NumLock" key and keypad keys? I know they removed the markings for the keypad keys (small numbers from letter keys on right of keyboard) when they got rid of the NumLock key on the newer MB and MBP models. However, I would think that since the OS still recognizes the fn key in combination with a select few other keys, at low levels it is still recognized by Mac OS X. That being the case, there should be some way to define additional combinations of the fn key with other keys to generate the "KP_0", etc. keysymnams. What would be the best list to bring this topic up in?
