Hi Jeremy: IIRC, some time back there were other X11 WM which did work with OS-X - I can remember Oroborus as one of these (I go all the way back to the OS-X public beta). It's not clear to me if I can go to MacPorts and just try to install one of these - such as fvwm2. I think that trying this exposes some hooks into the Mac OS that cause problems. In searching, I don't see any references newer than 2004, about Macs being used with X11 WM other than xquartz-wm. BTW, thanks for clarifying the difference between XQuartz and quartz-wm. I'm guessing those "hooks" live in the Xorg libraries.
