We're headed to X.org, though we're not quite there yet.  Apple has  
been steadily upstreaming its fixes back to X.org and got quite a bit  
of stuff into X11R7.2, but not enough to make it a total drop-in  
replacement for XFree86 yet.  That's definitely the goal for X11R7.3  
and, of course, what ships with Leopard.
