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.

Solaris, BSD and Linux have no "native" windowing system of their own. It IS X11, talking directly to the video card. On Mac OS X and XP, this is not the case. Each has their own native windowing system which talks to the card and X11 is simply "re-hosted on top", resulting in a rather different implementation and an entirely different set of integration issues.
