did not really follow this thread but it seems you just want to run Xquartz *not* in full screen 
mode? I believe the alternative is called "seamless mode". I am using that and the X11 window 
manager does then leave the OSX menubar alone and you can switch to different apps with command-TAB 
selection etc.

this works especially good with tiling X11 window managers in my view. I just keep one of the OSX 
virtual "Spaces" desktops reserved for the X11 window manager and all X11 apps (including terminal 
emuators like xterm) I use (dwm).
