    Currently AbiWord for XDarwin runs directly on MacOS X but require X11
    to display. It is just the UNIX version that has been rebuild for
    MacOS X.
    I there is a native version of GTK (ie a version that don't require
    X11) on MacOS X, it is likely that we'll get AbiWord for XDarwin run
    that way aswell.

    In the mean time, there is currently a port using Cocoa in the work.
    Just don't hold your breath, as 1.2 is probably still the earliest
    milestone target. Surely not a 1.0.x version.
