It runs on X11 _with_ a deliberately modular design, so that Display GhostScript, Display PostScript, or Display PDF can be used on the back end, instead. The libs, development tools, and utilities in the process of being fleshed out are the sub-surface 8/9 of the iceberg. In other words, migration to something besides X11 is the _easy_ part, and the GNUstep guys have concentrated on the difficult parts. > You might argue that Aqua is the logical fruition of Openstep....
