I thought that Apple GUI was based on X11?

Not as far as I can tell. X11 programs don't seem to want to
compile and run under it. Though there have been programs ported to the
Apple GUI -- including emacs.

Looks like you are right. Here's a good article about it:

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/

So -- there is an implementation of it -- which integrates
nicely with the existing GUI for OS-X -- but most systems don't have
that installed.

Enjoy,
