I finally had a chance to look at GNOME on Apple X11. What I noted was that Apple X11 sets the display size at the full screen size, while XDarwin now sets the display to be smaller when in rootless mode. On my system, for example, I get the following console messages:
X11.app: Screen 0 added: 1280x1024 @ (0,0) Rootless XDarwin: Screen 0 added: 1280x1003 @ (0,21) My recollection is that when XDarwin was first released, the display was also set to be the full screen, but this was changed to keep objects from getting buried under the Aqua menubar. If you were running GNOME on XDarwin before, then the GNOME menubar would indeed be fully visible. Otherwise, there may be some way to offset where the menubar starts.
