Yep.

Yes it should. See below.
: You are using 'X11' whether you are using Apple's X server, XonX, or
: any other X11 server on any platform.
Of course. But if you examine this mailing list charter, it is
dedicated to "X11 for Mac OS X community", the Mac community that is
using "X11 for Mac OS X". So when most folks here mention "X11", it
is assumed to refer to Apple's X11 implementation and not the other
X Window System implementations such as XonX, Tenon's MacTen, A/UX,
one of the NetBSD or Linux flavors, or some other beast.
