My bad... This is not a bug. You just need to activate click_through
events in the Quartz window manager. In a terminal just type the
following and then restart X11:

defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true

This and other options are documented in man Xquartz and quartz-wm

The plot window still doesn't gain focus when clicked on (the
minimize/maximize buttons stay shaded) but everything works normally
otherwise. Actually, X11/IDL now behaves *exactly* the way I
originally requested: The plot window does not get keyboard focus,
so I can continue typing sans interruption after I issue a PLOT
command.

-k.
