Greetings,

I am indeed running Ion in rootless mode.  This is how I ran the
previous version of Ion (20060524), and I never had these problems.
In version 20060524, even in rootless mode, the Ion title-bar was
displayed right below the OSX menu-bar, so that both were visible.
Furthermore, the older version never brought Ion windows to the
foreground when a non-X11 application had focus.

Now that I've upgraded, I've had to use Ion in rooted (full-screen)
mode, because that is the only way it is usable, but I miss being able
to run it in rootless mode.
