Provide a DISPLAY variable in X11's process environment.

Apple uses a rather unfriendly scheme to create a process, without  
using the shell. So no shell environment variables are inherited.  
This document describes it a bit: http://developer.apple.com/qa/ 
qa2001/qa1067.html

And this link leads to a bunch of shell scripts inside an Aqua  
application that create the ~/.MacOSX stuff plus a bit more with lots  
of documentation, which Jason Davies is hosting kindly: http://

None.
They just redefine "dark" as the new standard.
