You guys might want to CC yourself to this ticket:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/58
The issue can't really be fixed by XQuartz.app itself. If this is an annoyance, I suggest you file a bug report with Apple (http://bugreport.apple.com) and indicate that it is likely a duplicate of 7150340
Thanks,
Jeremy
