Let me interject for some clarification: X11.app and XDarwin.app are NOT window managers--they contain the display server.
The window manager is a separate program. In the default Apple X11 case, your window manager is called quartz-wm. You can call a variety of window managers if you use either X11.app or XDarwin.app That being said, the problem with Apple X11 and KDE are in X11.app, not with quartz-wm: I checked this by running a different window manager. So what you need is a different display server. You'll want a standard XFree86 setup--the fink xfree86-base and -rootless packages will give you what you need. In this case the stability is very good, but it's slower than using X11.app . As to a window manager, you do have the option to run a full KDE session, and use kwin, which is already installed on your system, or any of the others that fink provides. Or you could install OroborOSX (http://oroborosx.sf.net/), which has an Aqua interface like X11.app . It has more features than X11.app, but is slower.
