Wow, it looks like it works. I copied over /System/Library/Keyboards=20
from opendarwin and ran:

startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/XDarwin

and I get a window manager, including it's background image. I tried=20
window maker and twm. However, when I exit the window manager, whatever=20
the background is left there and the swirly icon appears, and I'm stuck.

If I try to run as my normal user, I get the default dimpled X=20
background, with no window manager. Before it starts, there is an error=20
message like: /tmp/.X11-unix should be owned by root.
