Apple's X11 comes with a window manager, so you may well not need
another one, or the full GNOME desktop.  If you just want to run X11
applications occasionally, then you may find that just using the
built-in window manager is sufficient.

It's nearly impossible to debug problems when people _describe_ them,
rather than _demonstrate_ them.

Can you post a verbatim transcript of what you get in your X11 terminal
window for an attempt to run mozilla?

I've no clue what the above means.  Do you get a mozilla browser window?

Help.
