For reference, I am running IDL 6.4 (with the 6.4.1 patch) and the latest x11 release (2.2.0.1) on OS X 10.5.2.

The relevant command is almost identical except that the defaults file (Mac calls it a domain) you will need to change is ‘org.x.x11′ So the command would be:

defaults write org.x.x11 wmclickthrough -bool true

I found that I actually had to delete the “wmclickthrough” key using the command:

defaults delete org.x.x11 wmclickthrough

And then add it back using the first command, but I suspect that problem was just my own user error somewhere. Hope this helps others not waste the 2 hours I just wasted…
