The Aqua interface is not at all related to X11; this is the layer in which Carbon and Cocoa applications run. Andrew Chois has a set of patches available in CVS Emacs that allow it to be compiled for the Aqua or X11 environments (adding the flags "--with-carbon --without-x" or "--with-x --without-carbon" to the ./configure command). In OS X, the X11 system runs as a separate layer, by default in rootless mode. One can of course run the window management system of your choice. X11 is launched most easily with an application called "X11.app" but there are other choices (XDarwin and OroborOSX, for example). > 2.

Whoo, that's beyond my skills to understand.
