So in other words, I won't be able to run Aqua apps at all, even with all their libraries and everything else still installed correctly, if install X11 and reconfigc? I can't believe it, but it almost sounds like running X11 on a Windows box is easier than it is on a Mac...and it's probably more worthwhile to do on a Windows box too.

How annoying is that?
