Usually the opposite happens... I would guess that this is a symptom of *something* activating the XQuartz application. Do you use any X11-based applications that are launched periodically or on-demand? XQuartz comes with a feature to launch it automatically whenever an application attempts to read the DISPLAY env. variable. This is nice for some users, but tends to get in the way if you're like me and always have an XQuartz session running which you prefer to launch manually. (Or if you prefer to have a simple DISPLAY value like ":0" instead of a random socket name.) To deactivate the feature, find the launchd plists for XQuartz, unload them (launchctl unload -w /path/to/the/.plist) and then remove the plists for good measure. I'm not on my Mac and don't remember the exact name of the file (or files, there might be 2). R. PS: I do get a similar behaviour since a few XQuartz release iterations, but only when I'm working in an X11 application. It used to be the case that I could have "native" windows reliably covering all but the active X11 window. It's still possible, but once every so often some event will occur that brings all X11 windows to the front (read: onto the same native window stack layer). Again, that's only when I'm already working in XQuartz so it's not a huge deal. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
