Yep.

You don't need X11R4 at all, although performance will be better.
You may, however, have problems with share-mode X, particularly with
regard to keyboard and mouse focus and event handling.  It'll depend
on the details of your application - I can give more detail if you want.

As for a 1.1 implementation.  The easiest thing to do is go buy the
source.  Be sure to at least get the limited support license.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
