Jeremy,
Just to check on the concatenation of the two previous items, when I duplicate XQuartz and modify the bundle ID, I notice that Spaces can't work out what the application name is (is that bug in there?). I don't suppose this further data point somehow arrives at adequately convincing evidence of what you already suspect, if not know, which is that copying code to introduce a config change the application really should be able to handle anyway is broken, even if it isn't necessarily a bug (or *sigh* going to be fixed)?
To my mind, the fact that auto-updates don't work is just a further inconvenient consequence of an attempt at being clever that didn't really pan out and still deserves a solution. I realise that there have been some false starts of this sort as Apple tries to figure out how to make X fit into OS X, and all I think I'm asking in this instance is for a bit of sweeping up after one particular frenzy of creative destruction. ;->
Cheers,
Bayard
