I still think that you're not being very precise. :-) I have no

GNOME over Aqua, and I expect they do because of familiarity or
because of cross-platform issues, but an "X11 interface" does NOT
imply KDE or GNOME. An "X11 interface" can mean anything from TWM to
KDE to GNOME to FVWM to any combination of window-manager + file
browser + toolkit + apps. There is no "X11 interface" is my point.
If you want to choose some interface which does use X11, then you'll
have to pick one of those and implement that one. Technically, none
of the many interfaces which use X11 require X11 at all. X11 is
policy-neutral. That means that nothing that you see (except the "X"
mouse pointer, which you should never see) is provided by X11.
Everything is provided by some other package/toolkit/application/
whatever.
John,
Right, but they all run in an X11 environment.
I was not stating any specific combination of "window-manager + file
browser + toolkit + apps" was preferred, I was making a generic
statement that whatever the combination, there are people who prefer
running a X11 environment interface.
