Well, the "Window Manager" for Quartz windows doesn't understand how to
interoperate with the X11 protocol. See another recent thread for more
discussion on this.
From a technical point of view, it's certainly possible to *not* run a
window manager under X11. But you won't be able to move/resize your
windows in that case. :-)
