Hi, thanks for reporting!

I had an impression that X11 is default part of OSX and apparently it is not. What you can do right now is to grab master branch and build target ShiftIt-nonX11. I'm almost ready to make a new release so I will actually change it to dynamically load X11 depending whether it is present in the system or not.

/cheers

OK, I pushed the change that should fix this. It's in the increase-reduce branch. If you have time please check whether it works. It will be part of the upcoming 1.6 release.

In the end I decided to drop X11 support. I'm not using any X11 applications anymore and the overhead with testing was not worth it.
