installed FireFox 2 and TB 1.5. I removed all the apple apps I won't use

Apple's X11 from the media. Then I went to darwinports and got their Port
app. From there I was able to install openvpn, gnome-terminal, much like
apt-get. I'm still working on getting the entire gnome desktop installed. If
you put X11 in fullscreen mode you can switch to X11 apps independently of
the OS X interface.


Since i mostly start x applications from other machines though ssh
tunneling, i have found this program very useful in making it as
seemless as possible on the mac.
