Hi everyone,

I'm still trying to get a functional setup of the i3 window manager running
under XQuartz on my 13" Retina Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan
and am struggling.

I have the i3 window manager coming up now when I start XQuartz; however,
the meta keypress isn't making it through to the window manager.  If I use
Command as the meta key in the config or if I use Alt (Option), I get the
same results.

I have tried all combinations of the following preferences settings:

* Follow system keyboard layout
* Enable key equivalents under XQuartz

I had though that maybe my problem would be solved if I ran in full-screen
mode; however, when I select that option, all of my XWindows simply vanish
until I come back out of full-screen mode.

The only local configuration I have done is to install i3 from homebrew
(brew install homebrew/x11/i3-4.11) and to create a ~/.xinitrc.d/i3.sh file
that contains:

#! /bin/sh
USERWM=/usr/local/bin/i3

In addition, I ran the i3-config-wizard script and used it to toggle which
meta key I would be using, deleting the existing one in .config/i3/config
before each re-run.

Finally, I tried the sample configuration file from /usr/local/etc/i3 and
was unsuccessful there as well.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Bryan
