I was referring to the latest version... yes its better than it used to be, but for Wine it still sucks.... all they really need for Wine to run a lot better is proper fullscreen and rootless switching... and a real working RANDR... its been a requested feature for over 2 years, maybe some day they'll have it.  Hard to do any games in Wine without it.

But the latest up to date Xquartz is always best to get from Macports.... the maintainer of the Macports Xquartz is the same person who maintains Xquartz.
