And what about xDarwin 4.3? Is this a purchase only version? I can't find the download anywhere. Does the earlier version have any special needs (or draws backs) in order to run in 10.2 (like Developer Tools)?
<I guess what I'm asking for is a list of what needs to be installed, and in what order, so I can get back to running GNOME and KDE in 10.2>

I'm not sure about whether Apple intends to have a rooted mode option.
The major difference between Apple X11 and the now standard XFree86 (i.e.
XDarwin) is that right now Apple's X11 doesn't support threading, which
some applications need. This may change in the future.
OroborOSX is a little different: X11.app and XDarwin.app have the display
servers in them, and use whatever window manager you call. OroborOSX uses
its own version of XDarwin.app as its display server, and then calls its
own window manager. It has menubar controls and the option to launch
applications from the menu, like Apple's X11, but has quite a few more
options available. On the downside, it's slower than X11.app with
quartz-wm, although it's quite usable on my system: I'm running
XFree86-4.3, which is faster than earlier versions.

Besides xDarwin being able to run in full-root and using the quark window manager, are there any other differences between the two? Does Apple plan to take their version to run in full-root?
And what about OrborosX (sp?) How does it compare to the other two?
