I must say that I don't agree that a consistent environment is only important
for "normal" users. I've been using other Unix systems and X11 for a long time
before I came to this platform (and I still do), but I really can't understand
why anyone would want to run X11 in rootless mode on Mac OS X with any other
window manager other than quartz-wm or OroborOSX. I think that X11 windows in
the Aqua environment should behave like any other window as much as is possible.
Consistency is much more important to me than any personal preference I might have.

Just my 2 cents.
