I saw your post when you first  posted it, but I'd hoped someone far 
more knowledgeable would post a reply regarding X11.

And, I'm not that expert.   lol

I couldn't get Gimp or Inkscape to run on my Mac.  Both apps require 
X11.  I got help at the following locations:

http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/News/News.html
http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo2
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

I would start with the lists.apple.com, that's where I got the answer to 
my problem.

Apparently, there is some relationship between X11 and Xquartz, but I 
don't understand it at all.

Good luck.
