i tend to ssh into remote hosts to do work so i often have many xterms
open in different tags which is much easier to navigate then in native
osx with the terminal app. i occassionally launch x11 programs such as
inkscape, xfig, gv, xdvi.

so in summary yes i run x11 more. i dont see how one can mix osx and x11
apps with dwm, native osx has click to focus by default, and due to the
lack of keys on a mac keyboard (lacking insert, delete and a few others)
i would imagine some apps keycombos would get clobbered in unpleasant
ways. i tried it once and it wasn't too please, i kept on getting confused
on how to switch between apps (apple key + tab versus alt+j/k)

i would think a native port of dmenu would probably be much useful,
something similar to quicksilver or spotlight with less cruft.

its just my 2cents on the whole matter.
