I’m pretty sure it was an add-on. Quantium or something like that. They did a great job at making things hard to find and too expensive for casual users

Yes it actually is OLWM running on top of QNX’s own display server – QW. See couple of screenshots I’ve added. There is an OLWM process, folder and a readme file for it.

QNX never had X11 even in the most recent version. The first version was called QNX Windows (on the screenshot) and later they were called Photon Micro GUI. Both of them have nothing to do with X11. That however doesn’t mean you can’t use a “familiar” window manager. Also notice that old versions of Solaris did not have X11 but rather NeWS, yet they also had OLWM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS. I think that OLWM must have originated in NeWS and be later ported to QNX Windows and X11.
