  XDarwin is X11 for MacOS X
XDarwin allows arbitrary modifier keys to be used in emulating a multi-button mouse.
In keeping with the efforts for the XDarwin project to remain open source (in contrast to Apple's X11 release) Christos Zaoulas, James Whitwell, and Emmanuel Dreyfus have accomplished a milestone in their development efforts toward Mac-compatible IOKit driver emulation.
XDarwin is being used as a test case for binary compatibility with Darwin, the Mac OS X kernel.

XDarwin is the X window server for Mac OS X and the Darwin operating system provided by the X.Org Foundation.
XDarwin uses IOKit services to access the display framebuffer, mouse and keyboard and to provide a layer of hardware abstraction.
XDarwin will normally be started by the xdm(1) display manager or by a script that runs the program xinit(1).

XDarwin is a port of Xfree86 to the Mac OSX platform.
XDarwin does not support the aqua window manager (as of Sept 12, 2002), BUT OroborOSX is the next best thing.

 Fink & XDarwin
XDarwin can be thought of as XFree86 with two additional libraries.
Thus, to install XDarwin from source you need to download the XFree86 source along with the Xprog.tgz tarball (which provides dynamic libraries that XDarwin needs) and the Xquartz.tgz tarball (which is required if you want to run X and Aqua simultaneously, i.e.
Instead of installing XDarwin from source (and risking the problems that were discussed above), we will simply install the Fink xfree86-rootless package.

 OpenOffice.org - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Although a version which would natively use the Aqua interface was planned for OpenOffice version 2, due to a variety of issues (including technical challenges, licensing complications, and limited development resources), that project was abandoned.
Instead OpenOffice is available in two varieties which run on OS X: *OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11), which requires the installation of Apple X11 or XDarwin.
This version is a close port of the well-tested Unix version, but does not integrate smoothly with OS X services such as fonts and printing, and its user interface is that of an X11 application.

It is anticipated that the libraries and X clients from 4.3.0 will be included in Apple's final release of X11 for Mac OS X. Testing of this snapshot, particularly by Darwin users not running Mac OS X, is encouraged to shake out any final bugs before the 4.3.0 release.

 Modified Oroborus for Mac OS X
This error will occur when trying to start XDarwin using the "startx" command with the "-rootless" (or "-quartz") option (which is basically what earlier versions of OroborOSX did) when you have a ".xserverrc" file in your home directory which specifies its own arguments for the X server.
XDarwin, by default, brings all X11 windows in front whenever it is the frontmost application.
Since XDarwin maps the command key to what would be the hyper or meta key on unix workstations, it would be a bad move for XDarwin (and also OroborOSX) to capture certain shortcuts since it would prevent the X11 app from making use of them.

 Macworld: News: Hardware accelerated XDarwin in the works
The XDarwin Project has announced an upcoming hardware-accelerated version (4.3) of XDarwin, the X11 server for Mac OS X. The update will purportedly contain significant font integration functionality with Mac OS X 10.2 ("Jaguar").
XDarwin is network-transparent, so it's easy to use with Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unix environments.
With XDarwin it's possible to configure software to run on other computers, running various operating systems across the network, but to display their results in real-time on Mac OS X. The XDarwin package provides a client/server windowing infrastructure and adheres to the XFree86 standardized application programming interfaces (APIs).

In XDarwin, the X11 clipboard contents are automagically synchronized with the OSX clipboard.
With Panther it's even worse; there's no planned support for bringing XDarwin into fink "because Panther already provides X11.app," and when I tried building it myself, something in the build setup made things break horribly (as in, critical files weren't put into the application bundle, and the startx script was rather mangled).

XDarwin is not a third contender, it's just the little launcher app that starts up the XFree86 environment (with dialog to hide/show the MacOS X native Desktop and OS X app windows etc).
In Panther, I prefer to use at the moment Apple's X11, my second choice would be to install xfree86-4-4.0-1 with Fink from the unstable branch.

XDarwin is an application that provides a graphical user interface that lets you start X from within the MacOSX (Aqua) environment, and that'll make it possible for the X-Windows to appear on your screen without X taking over the whole screen.
There is also another X system from Tenon for MacOSX, but it isn't free and I haven't tried it.
