I successfully installed Apple's X11.app and XFree86 and all that, and have
gotten my applications to work fine.
I have also installed several other windows managers other than quartz-wm
(sawfish, etc), and I have gotten them to work by editing the ~/.xinitrc
file, but is there an easier way to switch windows managers without editing
the file and restarting X11.app?
Also, I would like to run a desktop environment such as KDE or GNOME, but I
am having a hard time figuring out how. Is it even possible with Apple's X11
implementation, or do I need XDarwin or OroborOSX? I have already installed
GNOME, and I have gotten individual apps to open...but I have no idea how to
get the desktop.
Also, if I were to get the desktop environment working, could I have it
displayed on my second monitor while still using Mac OS X on the main
monitor and just switch back and forth, like Virtual PC?
Thanks
