Any hint where to send emails/complains to Apple?

Indeed the X11 version shipped with OS X does _not_ support Xinput
and hence graphic tablet can't have pressure or tilt sensitivity.
There are only two ways out of this:
- get a recent Xorg to compile on OS X. There is an Xorg port in
MacPorts but it is marked a broken. I guess many projects will
benefit from having a newer and possibly faster X server
- get Inkscape to compile with GTK natively on OS X and improve the
GTK port to have support for tablets. The first part has already been
done by some people and would benefit from more interest. See http://
wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/
CompilingMacOsX#Compiling_Inkscape_as_a_native_application_.
28no_X11.29 . The second part is really GTK related and I don't know
how GTK could get tablet events information it normally gets from X11
when X11 isn't there. Has anyone experience on windows with this? Are
tablets supported on windows?
Both solutions would be great and would make many Inkscape (and
Gimp!) users happy. Any step in those directions would help a lot.
Eventually, there may be a third way: get apple to upgrade X11
themselves. Send feedback to Apple in whichever way you can. Your
email alone won't change much but if everyone does... who knows? Is
there someone here testing a beta version of Leopard? What about X11
there?
