More to the point, Wine doesn't necessarily use any variant of the X Window System.  On Mac OS X, it can use the Mac driver.  Other drivers are being investigated.

Yes.

No.  A series is used to indicate that later patches can't be applied before the earlier ones.  That is, for example, patch 2 requires that patch 1 already was applied before it can be successfully applied.  "Successfully applied" means all of: the patch applies, Wine builds, and tests succeed (at least as well as before).
