Interesting X11 behaviour...

I installed Apple's X11 (0.2, and overwrote the prefs.)

I then compiled and installed KDE 3.1 via fink.

put "/sw/bin/startkde &" as the only line in my ~/.xinitrc

Now, I would expect that this would bypass quatrz-wm completely and use KDE's default wm. I wouldn't be able to dock things and it would look like OS X at all - but I was futzing around and really didn't care.

What I found was that the KDE theme was applied to it's window as usual. KDE controlled the colors, appearance, etc. But, it seemed that quartz-wm was still active and every window - regardless of applied theme - had an aqua menu bar and would minimize into the dock.

Just to be sure, I rebooted and received the same results.

I kinda like this behaviour, as it's very convenient (with the dock and all)... but I'm totally confused about why this is happening.

Any guesses?
