As I said earlier, WM or DE does not depend on any kernel. Whatever
the OS is you can run WM/DE like gnome/kde/enlightenment if X server
is installed. You can even run these inside windows. And I run E17 on
my Mac OS X. No, not by re-login. Aqua and E17 runs together.

Actually, Aqua was born from NeXTStep. There is a WM called
WindowMaker which resembles the NeXTStep environment.

Yes, it's gOS implementation. They just bluntly copy Mac. But you can
see the configuration power of the E17. You can modify it to whatever
you like.
