I think it's fair to say that Mac OS X is not an "X11-based system" any more than a copy of Windows XP running one of Hummingbird's X11 products would be an X11-based system. It is, if anything, very much a non-X11-based system that *supports* X11, and at least our X11 compatibility package comes bundled for free. Some amount of adaptation on the part of the user base is reasonable expectation here, I think.

In this regard how is OS X or XP different than Solaris or BSD or Linux (d'jour)? None are based on X11 - it is a windowing subsystem layered on the OS and runs at the application layer.
