The name of the window manager that runs by default using Apple's
X11.app is called quartz-wm.
The general way that you can override this is to create a text file in your
home directory called ".xinitrc". The contents of this file are the
commands that you'd like to run with X11 is started. The final line should
be the window manager that you'd like to run. "gnome-session" for Gnome,
"startkde" for KDE (I think), "sawfish" for sawfish, etc.
