I just looked and discovered I'm still using X11 Beta 3 - XFree86 4.2.1. This is on Jaguar 10.2.8 at this location (I have 10.3.5 at another, not sure which X11 there, probably the one that either came installed(?) from the factory or it would have been downloaded after late June 04).

I don't have the focus answer, but I thankfully don't have Image auto-raising either! I can have an Image next to or even partially covered by a Control Panel, in Execute on change, merrily banging away on the controls and watching the image update without it popping up.

Personally, I don't usually care for auto-raise/auto-focus, so I haven't looked for the answer but I'd experiment with that mode if someone tells me how.

I've been running OpenDX on my Mac and mostly everything is great.
My one problem is having to first click on a window to make it active, before
doing whatever in that window. Since working with OpenDX usually requires
frequent switching between windows (control panels, dialog boxes, image windows,
etc.) all those extra clicks add up to a real pain. Even worse, focus automatically
switches to the image window on every execution, so activities like stepping through
values in a control panel becomes a truly frustrating experience.

On my Sun box, this is not an issue, because I have it configured to give focus to
whichever window the mouse is over. I cannot find a way to do this on a Mac.
(I'm running OS X 10.3.6, using Apple's X11 v.1.0 - based on XFree86 4.3.)

Does anyone else have this problem, and is there a way around it?

Thanks!
Joel
