There are several versions of X11 for OSX -- the one Apple distributes, and in macports, xfree86 and xorg, both in several variants. Could someone give us a summary of the state of X11 on OSX? What should be used when? Where are we headed?

I believe we are at xorg is broken, xfree86 was recently updated to version 4.6 so at least someone must believe it works, and I myself have always used Apple's X11 and never had any reason to try anything else. Simply make sure you have both X11User.pkg (from Mac OS X installation media) and X11SDK.pkg (from Xcode disk image) installed. (Check /Library/Receipts to see if you're missing either of those.)
