With X11 (version 0.2) not open, I type in a terminal window:

"XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System." I have not installed XDarwin
Apple's X11 *is* xfree86-4.2.1 with some Apple sauce on top. 95% of it
are some version of xfree86. Only the X server proper and the window
manager are Apple-specific. Less than 5MB out of 100MB.
on my system (OS 10.2.4). So am I seeing an X Window system already
built into the operating system? In any event, what window manager is
it using? Can I find out by entering an appropriate command in the X
Window? I guess it is twm?
This depends on your .xinitrc and if you don't have one, on the system
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. If you have the version of the latter
that ends with "exec quartz-wm", then you might not have any window
manager running, because quartz-wm will probably crash.
