The current version of our app is deployed with the MacOSX X11 VM (7.4d
with 7.4.1 image). We last checked the native VM in 7.6 (where we're
currently developing), and at that point it still had too many graphics
problems to replace the X11 VM. We'd prefer to use the native VM,
because of the better UI experience, but that is dependent on improving
graphics performance and removing glitches.
My recollection of the main problems is: performance, GF/ST graphics,
scrollbars, and text widgets (highlighted area was a different width
from actual displayed font). I don't recall which problems exhibited
with which VM versions, but we'll be looking again at these in 7.7.
