Yes, I encountered the same thing. The original X11 emacs runs in a
terminal window only. I didn't find anything to make it open an X
window. I then switched to fink Emacs which runs perfectly and I am
using it everyday. I miss the *real* Ctrl-S, Ctrl-R from emacs in
BBedit too much to get accustomed to it.
My settings:
Emacs*font: *-fixed-*-*-*-13-* good readable,
reasonable sized font
Emacs*attributeFont: *-fixed-*-*-*-13-*
Emacs*background: ivory
and hilit19.el to colorize my sources

I have Apple's X11 server running and I noticed there already exists a
version of Emacs in /usr/bin. Running "emacs -help" shows that it
understands X11:
Display options:
--background-color, -bg COLOR window background color
--border-color, -bd COLOR main border color
--border-width, -bw WIDTH width of main border
--cursor-color, -cr COLOR color of the Emacs cursor indicating
point
--display, -d DISPLAY use X server DISPLAY
--font, -fn FONT default font; must be fixed-widthp
--foreground-color, -fg COLOR window foreground color
--geometry, -g GEOMETRY window geometry
--iconic start Emacs in iconified state
--icon-type, -i use picture of gnu for Emacs icon
--internal-border, -ib WIDTH width between text and main border
--line-spacing, -lsp PIXELS additional space to put between lines
--mouse-color, -ms COLOR mouse cursor color in Emacs window
--name NAME title of main Emacs window
--reverse-video, -r, -rv switch foreground and background
--title, -T, -wn, TITLE title for Emacs windows
--vertical-scroll-bars, -vb enable vertical scroll bars
--xrm XRESOURCES set additional X resources
However, when I try to get it to open an X11 window it doesn't seem to
even realize that it can. Instead it always runs in the xterm window
itself. I've run GNU emacs for years under X11 so, unless Apple's
version is built in some strange way, I know what I'm doing and it
should "just work". (No, the problem is not "xhost", "-display",
"setenv DISPLAY", or anything else like that.)
