Ok, the port 'quartz-wm' is now available (and a runtime dependency of the xorg meta-port). I compiled the latest quartz-wm for both Leopard and Tiger against MacPorts.

I've built an updated quartz-wm for Tiger (don't try using this on Leopard) for use with the new xorg-server in MacPorts. This quartz-wm will fix the "100% CPU issue when pasteboard proxying is enabled" issue and fixes the dock interaction bug that was present in the 1.0.0 version that I built a few weeks ago. This also brings Tiger users all the fixes that have gone into quartz- wm on Leopard (gravity hints, fullscreen hints, etc).

download it, decompress it, and place it at /opt/local/bin/ quartz-wm (or change /opt/local/bin to be your prefix).

You will also need to 'sudo port -v upgrade xinit' to get xinitrc to use this quartz-wm instead of the system one.

You are recommending people download and install something into the MacPorts prefix, without using MacPorts?

Why can this not be installed with a MacPorts port?

Well, quartz-wm isn't open source, so I thought I can't make a port for it. If that's not the case, I'll gladly make a port for this, since it'll make things work nicer.

I have a few non-open-source ports in MacPorts already: oracle- instantclient, isightcapture. As long as it's free software I don't see a problem with making ports of non-open-source software especially if it's a dependency of another port we want to have (e.g. oracle-instantclient is there so that there can be a +oracle variant of the php5 port).

Excellent. Then with that blessing, I shall run off and create a quartz-wm port!
