I almost did the same thing, but realized just in time. Works great, no discernible difference though, and I did notice a speed jump when I installed beta 2 earlier.

Are you trying to tell me that it's "Snappier"?!!

FYI here are the changes in Beta 3:

Changes in X11 Beta 3:
* Added Pseudocolor (8-bit) visual plane support so applications
requiring 8 bit support should find the visuals by default. You can
also add " -depth 8 " (see Xquartz man page) when starting the X Server
if you want to run it only in 8 bit mode, which is unrecommended as
OpenGL support is not available in 8 bit mode.
* Added an option to quit X11 without presenting warning dialog : "
defaults write com.apple.x11 no_quit_alert true ". See man page for
Xquartz for more details.
* Added Command-Q keyboard shortcut to quit X11. Can be disabled from
preferences.
* Added Command-, to bring up preferences dialog. Can be disabled from
preferences.
* Added customization of fake buttons while emulating mouse. See man
page for Xquartz for more details.
* Fixed problems with dead keys on certain keyboard mappings.
* OpenGL: Fixed problem with linking against libGL resulting in
multiple definitions of glGetColorTableEXT.
* Fixed problem where non-admin users could not start X11 because lock
files were being left behind in /tmp.
* Fixed problem where quartz-wm lost ConfigureNotify events.
* Fixed problem so that windows can be resized by user to any size and
not be limited by the Dock's height.
* Fixed window focus problem when un-minimizing X11 windows from the
Dock.
* Fixed a crash that could occur when dragging remotely hosted windows.
* Dialog windows can now be resized.
* Fixed a problem with hardware accelerated scrolling in 16 bit mode.
* Fixed a bug where emulated middle-button-raise fails when Alt/option
is not Mode_Switch.
* Fixed a bug where cursor would jump on multiple monitor systems if
application tried to manage the cursor's position.
* Fixed a bug that crashes the X Server if application tried to
retrieve data back from the framebuffer using XGetImage.
* Fixed a bug when quitting from the Dock that would result in the Quit
Dialog being presented behind the current application.
* Fixed a bug where windows are created offscreen if (0,0) maps to an
offscreen location.
* Fixed a bug with undecorated and modal windows having a titlebar
because the window manager hints were not being interpreted correctly.

Would have been nice if they would have fixed the zombie process problem.

Would have been nicer if they would have fixed all problems.
