The biggest one I've got right now is that xterms aren't picking
up the correct size. Running resize in each new xterm seems to fix
this.
I also have been having some really flaky cut-buffer problems between
X and Apple apps. Mostly cut X text doesn't get into the Apple cut-buffer.
And lastly, I lost my cool new X server icon in the dock. ;-)
I thought I understood that the server and clients can be installed
separately, but I'm not sure how to do that. What's very disgraceful
(on my part) is that 95% of my X11 use is running xterms.
Thanks,
Doug
