where to find aqua-wm?

Question

where to find aqua-wm?

I'm trying to get some decent X Windows window manager working. I've been screwing around with fink, tried installing xorg, but that was no good. From within the fink commander I tried installing xfree86, but that also failed for some reason. A few days later I stumbled across this page, and I followed it's instructions just to see if it actually worked. And it did. I have a working windowmaker install going right now. But a PowerBook toting friend of mine tells me that i should be able to find quartz-wm on the mac installation CDs which lets X applications work just like native mac ones. I really want to find this, but I can't find it anywhere on the install CDs or fink or anywhere. Where is this? Does this exist for the intel macs? Where? Should I be erasing the fink xfree86 and replacing it with something more apple-ish?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Apple's "X11" product is just XFree wrapped up to run in rootless mode with fancy Mac UI stuff. It includes quartz-wm and runs fine.

It's bundled with the developer products and on the installation CD. You can also download it off Apple's site.

Hope that helps you.

I've tried that. I tried reinstalling the X11SDK package that was on the installation CD, however I still have no quartz-wm file anywhere on my computer. I can't find any relevant package off of the Apple Developer Connection site, or anywhere else on the other Apple sites. The most relevant thing I found was this X11 Extension panel thingy which seems to be outdated and doesn't actually work.

Sorry if I'm being dumb. I seriously can't find this file or the package which installs it.
