Some Mac usability issues

Hi folks,

I've some issues with my build on Mac OS X for which I'm interested in
feedback from other Mac devs.

a) mouse speed is significantly increased relative to the id version.  I
have to do a /sensitivity from the console, reducing it by 5 or 8
notches to make it feel like it should.  Why is this; anyone else find this?

b) there are various graphical glitches, including the orbs around
health powerups flickering in and out of view at random (though the
inner "+" part persists), as well as regions of the Bones model
disappearing as well.  Does anyone else see this?

c) task switching while in fullscreen mode (command-tab) does not work
at all; Q3 is forced to remain in the foreground.

I am completely green with respect to the Q3 source; before I delve in
and start trying to figure things out, I thought I'd see who else is out
there in a similar or more advanced position.
