Excellent work Jeremy!
I just installed via the dmg and it *seems* a lot faster.
I did find a little bug, that I haven't be able to sort out yet...
Running xset to disable the bell isn't working. I've tried:
xset -b
xset b off
xset b 0
I've also tried the xset client from 2.4 and it doesn't work either. I've
checked the logs and don't see any errors. It's been awhile since I've
done any X11 development and I've never done any development with X on
a Mac. Any clues on how to debug this?
NB: xset does work, I was able to rehash the font path successfully.
Thanks,
Doug

This is the first pre-release of 2.5.0 that has been built for both Leopard and SnowLeopard. The Leopard version still installs to /usr/X11 and X11.app while the SL version installs to /opt/X11 and XQuartz.app to avoid the Software Update collisions that were so common in the Leopard days.
