X11 is not installed by default under MACOSX, especially if you bought a
machine with MACOSX pre-installed.  In my case, the installation CD
refused to install X11 after the fact, because the OS had already been
patched/upgraded.  (I resorted to wiping the disk clean and reinstalling,
because the machine was new anyway).
