I certainly understand that eXceed is not a client, however I can use
it to connect to a Sun system and run CDE or OpenWindows. I am mearly
trying to accomplish this same task with MacOS and X11. If I can get a
window manager running on the Mac that can be displayed on a PC running
eXceed.
If X11 is properly installed (i am assuming it is), then I must have
something configured incorrectly with eXceed.
eXceed can act as a X server and a client (so to speak), I am fully
aware that it runs on PCs only.

One thing to keep in mind is that window managers themselves are
merely windowless X client applications that perform special tasks by
communicating to the server.

So your question kind of doesn't make sense.
If you have Apple's X11 (properly) installed, then you do have a
window manager; it's called quartz-wm. Is it not doing the job?

I have a question that hopefully someone on this list could answer.
I've got MacOSX 10.3.3 with X11 1.0 - XFree86 4.3.0 running. I'd
like clients (such as hummingbird exceed) to be presented with a
traditional X window manager. I am not sure if that is possible.
