X11 IDE's? Integrated development environments that run on X?
Perhaps you mean, the X11 API's. It's quite arduous to program directly
using xlib. That's why not many folks do it, and why there's not many
books on the subject. Try the XFree86 website for links. Though, xlib
(and the slightly higher-level x-intrinsics (Xt?) library) is a C API, not
C++.
Most GUI toolkits (like GTK+ and QT) are written to wrap the xlib calls in
higher-level functions or classes to make the application-programmer's life
easier.

Not to mention you shouldn't be using X11 if you want a true OS X experience

So you are going to learn to program for X11 instead? That's silly. Trust me. I've done both Qt and Cocoa. Cocoa is better and makes more sense.
As per Cocoa: do you know what the model/view/controller paradigm is? (start there)
and Qt: it's not C++, but it's like C++.

GUI's in cocoa are very easy. Also, you can use your existing c and c++ in cocoa as well. Trust me, very easy!

You can write a fully OS X compliant GUI with nothing but C API calls. It's called Carbon. Or you could spend, what, a few hours reading Apple's Obj-C PDF to understand the language (it's really that easy) and then run off and start doing Cocoa apps.
X11 is not the way to go.
