Mac OS X runs Aqua on top of X? That's new to me. If you look at the processes running on OS X, there is no X11 server running there, but the Quartz graphics engine which Aqua utilizes. Because if in fact Mac OS X uses X11 (which I assume is the X graphical server you mentioned), then it should be a trivial matter of replacing Aqua with Blackbox or any desktop manager that's been ported to X. ============================ Gino LV.
