Description
With X11 set for full-screen mode but not open, I type xeyes in Terminal. I get the xeyes window in front of the root window, as I expect. I click the yellow traffic light---I'm using quartz-wm---on the xeyes window. Nothing happens, but if I follow with cmd-opt-a I get to my Desktop with the xeyes window minimized to an icon on my dock. I click that icon and I'm taken back to the root window, but no eyes! Need to do cmd-opt-a twice to correct things. I guess this is a minor issue, but I'd expect to see the xeyes window after clicking on that dock icon.

This has been the behavior since (atleast) Tiger. Yes, it's sub-optimal, but quartz-wm is designed for rootless. Fullscreen is designed for other WMs.

This seems to occur using Tiger's X11 under Leopard as well... how did this behave on Tiger?
