xfce, Apple X11, and mouse emulation

[Fred Dushin]

Is there anything else I need to do, other than moving the shlibs out  
of the mcs-plugins directory?

/opt/local/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins> sudo mv mouse_plugin.* ~/mcs

Tried that, but the behavior is still the same.

BTW, earlier versions of XFCE off macports (can't say which, exactly  
- -- maybe a year or so ago) did not exhibit this behavior, so it  
seems to be something that crept in, either to XFCE, or into Apple's  
X11.

I'm not sure what other X11 ports there are to OS X.  I'll poke  
around and see.
