Even if you want to run X apps on MacOSX, you're stuck with an apple-only window manager layer. The mailing lists are full of complaints about quartzwm which only Apple can now fix.

It's perfectly possible to run some other X11 WM than Apple's. The quartz-wm is only one of many possible window managers you could be running in OS X. In fact, people were running X-Windows on OS X long before Apple got involved.
