1. Make sure "Displays have separate Spaces" is OFF. XQuartz does not work
with this configuration yet.

2. You want to switch XQuartz to full-screen mode (Preferences > Output >
Full-screen mode).

3. If you were expecting to use an X11 window manager to manage native
windows... this does not work and will never work. X11 can't even see
native windows, much less manage them.
