Well, 0.5 is full implementation of the Reality Distortion Field, while 0.7 is implementation of OpenGL 2.0 acceleration. (0.6 is where they fix the RDF before Steve throws a camera and/or 12" PowerBook at somebody.)
0.8 is scheduled to include complete integration of X11 applications with OS X, moving the X11 server running alongside Quartz, while 0.9 is more bug fixes.
Around 1.0, X11 gets merged into Emacs, which then becomes the premiere operating system in 2004, slowly phasing out OS X as we know it today. In other words, they will have reinvented Windows.

Simply install Apple's X and the X Developer Tools (I think that's what they're called) from Apple and when you compile a Fink app, it will ask what kind of X you have installed. Option 1 is something to the effect of "Manual X11 Install, Placeholder".
Have fun! Fink also has some instructions on their site.

This is in fact a bug fix, if you can believe that. You will need to create a ~/.xinitrc file that includes a line like this:
exec quartz-wm &
Alternately, you could edit xinitrc file found at/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, but odds are that will be overwritten in the future. Also, Apple will put up a scare box asking you to ignore your new ~/.xinitrc, why I cannot fathom, but you'll want to dismiss it.

Focus follows pointer isn't a good idea when you have a global menu bar.
