Finding The Right OS
cymon:
XFree86 has a OSX port as well. You don't have to use Apple's X11.
Siplus:
any chance of X.org?

I never imagined myself advertising for Apple, but ever since I bought my 12" Powerbook, I've liked em.
You get the power of Unix hidden behind apple's infamous interface, without losing any real unix features (except a crippled X11, but that's another story)

Infamous?
As for X11... who gives a fuck? And how is it crippled? It can do exactly what you need it to do when running X on X.
Nothing.
X11 isn't needed for a damn thing. Hell, I don't even like the way X11 is implemented by anybody. I'd rather the OS simply treat each X11 app like any other app, each with its own Dock icon.
Even then, I'd still avoid X11 apps like the plague. Ugly, non-standard, and usually buggy. Nearly all are shoddy ports, and the ones that aren't are lackluster to begin wih. CHEAP.

Apple should create some kind of SDK for converting X apps to cacoa or whatever it is called.
Aloone_Jonez:
I don't think that's possible because X apps draw their own widgets or use a separate library like GTK+.
