Alexey - can you explain this comment a bit further? Are you saying that 
the X11 support has been removed or will be removed? We've had major 
grief get automated testing running on Mac OSX and I would prefer not to 
remove the tests from the ProblemList until we are confident that the 
AWT deadlock issue has been resolved.
