Hi,
I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on a not quite 3 year old MacBook
Pro. I'm seeing some bizarre behavior with my overlapping xterm
windows when switching spaces, so I'm looking here to see if anyone
has any answers.
My typical setup is using 4 spaces, arranged 2x2. I use space #1
for most of the time, but put all my X11 stuff in space #2, usually
a bunch of xterm windows. What I've been seeing is that sometimes
when I switch to space #1 using <option><left arrow> and then back
to space #2 using <option><right arrow>, the xterm that was in front
and in focus is no longer displayed on top, but is still in focus,
even though it is half buried. If I click the mouse anywhere over
where that window is, even if it is obscured by another xterm
window, it'll pop back up to the top in front of the other windows.
Now, some further information. I start up X11 from an X11 icon in
my dock. I have a .xinitrc, and it fires up two xterm windows just
before starting quartz-wm, and it is these two windows in particular
that seem to be susceptible to this behavior. Other xterms that
I've started up from the X11 applications menu don't seem to exhibit
this. I have "Focus Follows Mouse" set, as well as "Click-through
Inactive Windows".
Everything works as it should, except these two windows, if they
have focus when I switch away and back, they get displayed behind
all the other xterm windows, but respond as if they are still in the
same relative layering position as when I switched away spaces and
back.
One other tidbit, if I use F8 to switch spaces, this problem doesn't
happen. If I use <option><arrow> to switch away, and then use F8 to
switch back, it doesn't happen. If I use F8 to switch away, and
then use <option><arrow> to switch back, the problem does happen.
So the problem appears to be when using <option><arrow> to switch to
the space with X11, not when switching away from the space with the
X11.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
