eXceed IS a window manager. The application running on the Mac is the
client.
Any CDE or OpenLook application on a Sun would be a client. They
display to
your PC, and the eXceed window manager displays their windows for them.
Whatever means you use to connect to your Sun system should work with
your
Mac. Then you just have to set the DISPLAY and start the X-windows
application.
However, if you expect to start just any old Mac application, it would
not work.
It would have to be an X-windows application.

I certainly understand that eXceed is not a client, however I can use
it to connect to a Sun system and run CDE or OpenWindows. I am mearly
trying to accomplish this same task with MacOS and X11. If I can get
a window manager running on the Mac that can be displayed on a PC
running eXceed.
If X11 is properly installed (i am assuming it is), then I must have
something configured incorrectly with eXceed.
eXceed can act as a X server and a client (so to speak), I am fully
aware that it runs on PCs only.

One thing to keep in mind is that window managers themselves are
merely windowless X client applications that perform special tasks by
communicating to the server.
If you have Apple's X11 (properly) installed, then you do have a
window manager; it's called quartz-wm. Is it not doing the job?

I have a question that hopefully someone on this list could answer.
I've got MacOSX 10.3.3 with X11 1.0 - XFree86 4.3.0 running. I'd
like clients (such as hummingbird exceed) to be presented with a
traditional X window manager. I am not sure if that is possible.
