someone give us a summary of the state of X11 on OSX? What should be
used when? Where are we headed?
We're headed to X.org, though we're not quite there yet. Apple has been steadily upstreaming its fixes back to X.org and got quite a bit of stuff into X11R7.2, but not enough to make it a total drop-in replacement for XFree86 yet. That's definitely the goal for X11R7.3 and, of course, what ships with Leopard.
