X11 has switched to full-screen; how to switch it back to rootless?

So, I've been running Apple's X11 (the one in Applications/Utilities)
under Panther for some stuff. Recently, it started coming up in
full-screen mode, rather than rootless. I'm sure I did something to
cause that, but I've been unable to figure out how to fix it. I've
spent a fair amount of Google-time on it, with no success.

Anyone know how this works?

(sorry for the multi-post...some newsreader issues here)

but my PB is at home.

cmd-opt-A will get you back to the Mac desktop so you can play with the
X11 menu. Now, you can go into Preferences and turn off full screen
mode.
