      Itching to see gnome and aqua running side by side... I've been doing that for months. It takes like 5 minutes to do:

      1) download Fink
      2) Install XFree86 and the rootless package
      3) Install Gnome
      4) Set up your .xsession for gnome

      I use Gnome for my window manager along side of Aqua. It's got a few issues, but runs really nice for the most part.
