This has already been covered in another thread, but to recap:
The 0.2 installer defaults to NOT installing the X Configuration files.
This means that X11.app will default to reading the the system default
xinitrc file (if you do not have a .xinitrc file in your home directory),
which starts twm as the window manager.
I suspect that your problems with the Gimp launch times are related to
using twm instead of quartz-wm. On my system (1GHz G4) the Gimp starts in
less than 5 seconds...
If you reinstall 0.2 and click on the "Customize" button on the Easy
Install panel, you can turn on "X11 Config" which will give you back your
quartz windows, minimize to dock, and speed.
Hope this helps,

Subject: 0.2 observations
I installed 0.2 this morning and ran the GIMP on it. The first thing I
noticed was the windows were back to the green "terminal" type windows
(confusing after the Aqua-type windows) and the Aqua buttons were gone.
The second thing I noticed was how slow the GIMP was to a) load and 2)
run. Noticeably slower: it launches in under 10 seconds in 0.1, and
took 60 seconds on one launch, 90 seconds on the other launch, in 0.2).
I just installed 0.1 again and my windows and buttons are back and so
is the GIMP. I think I'll wait until 0.3 to try again - one of the most
important features of X11 for me, as a casual user, is the Aqua-like
interface and being able to minimise windows into the Dock.
