Port notes

To use xdotool (and avoid the error message "Error: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'") you need to enable the XTEST extension. If you're using Apple's X11.app, the command to do so is:

defaults write org.x.X11 enable_test_extensions -boolean true

If you're using the MacPorts X11.app, use:

defaults write org.macports.X11 enable_test_extensions -boolean true

This only needs to be done once.
