ah, joyous day.

i updated to mac os x 10.4.3 yesterday after seeing the security changes in an e-mail to bugtraq. i didn't think much of it and didn't see any noticable changes, but after reading this story on macosxhints summarizing the changes, i now see that:

X11 windows now pop forward as they should when you activate X11 via the Dock or Command-Tab switcher.

this is exactly the thing i hated about x11.app that was driving me crazy. i would have firefox open with an xterm under it and want to switch back and forth between the two with cmd+tab while working on a web page, but xterm would never raise itself.

also, it seems that the background of the current day in ical's month view is darker and easier to distinguish. maybe apple heard my complaining. i just looked at ical on brad's machine that hasn't been updated yet and it's definitely much darker on mine.
