RE: Q: X-Server Info

["Parker, Ron" <rdparker at butlermfg dot org>]

I don't know about mixing an X Server and a Window Manager
from two different products.  However, I have used a number of
commercial
X-Servers with Window Manager that I have compiled from source off of
the net.

Some servers have configuration settings that allow you to turn off
their
default window manager.  With the MiX-NT server I was even able to
create 
a symlink from their server to /usr/X11R6.3/bin/xs(?) and use the startx
script.

I strongly suspect, that you can't mix an X Server and a Window Manager
from two different products as you can easily do on Unix systems.
In many case X Server and Window Manager are in fact the same
executable.
