I saw a mail come by on this subject a while ago indeed. Back then I did not have time to look into it. I'll give it a try. Thanks for reminding :). There are a few things behaving slightly different in the Quartz version, but I think I can iron those out. Personally I have no trouble using X11, but towards users using native Quartz is somewhat more usable.
