Hi, I am new to the list.  
I have just downloaded Inkscape (Inkscape-16090-i386.dmg) on my imac. I use OSX 10.4.10 and I followed very closely the steps and installed the X11 from the installation DVD.  When I opened Inkscape, it launched with X11. However the screen that I see is only a gray screen with the Inkscape window (pls see attached picture).  I cannot see my desktop nor other applications.  Is it normal? I want to have Inkscape working with other application without the necessary quitting Inkscape.  Please help. 
Thanks.

Check the preferences under X11

On mine, I can switch to the "Output" tab and then see a choice for "Enable the Enter Full Screen menu"

That mentions Command-option-A to leave full screen mode.
