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
Sounds to me like quartz-wm doesn't (properly?) look for existing
windows when it starts up. The workaround would be to start quartz-wm
in the background first, sleep briefly, launch the xterms, then let
the shell wait for everything:
quartz-wm & sleep 2
xterm &
xterm &
wait
