This is true. It's possible to run X11 apps, such as the GIMP, Pan, GnuCash, and OpenOffice.org with Apple's X11 program, but these do not appear as distinct applications like everything else in OS X: they are merely windows in the X11 program. This, combined with the different GUIs, makes those applications less-than-seamlessly integrated with the rest of the system. OTOH, X11 is often the best or only way to use those applications. It's possible to use gvim in X11, but even though the Carbon version has some holes in it, most people (AFAIK) prefer the latter. Cheers, -- Benjamin D.

+clientserver on Mac OS X
Hello, Is it possible to run the clientserver feature on Mac OS X? I cannot see anywhere in the help that directly states that clientserver only runs on Windows or X11. regards, Peter regards, Peter On Yahoo!7 Answers: 25 million answers and counting.

I agree that the docs are not clear on this point, but I think that if you scroll down from :help +feature-list to :help +clientserver you will find Unix and Win32. OK, so Unix includes Linux and maybe FreeBSD but not OS X ... as I said, I agree that the docs are not clear. --Benji Fisher

BTW, remote.txt has three sections: Common functionality, X11 specific items and MS-Windows specific items which make me suspect that there are exactly two flavours of Vim client-server subsystems, one for X11 and another one for MS-Windows. Now, there does exist an X11 server for Mac Os X but I've heard some Mac users don't want to use it because (I've been told) applications running through the X server are not visible as distinct running Mac applications.
