Re: Fwd: How to autostart X11 from GTK application on Mac OS X

[Derek Piper <dcpiper indiana edu>]

	I agree, that would indeed be a wonderful thing to have GTK apps  be 
'native' under OS X. I'll be sure to try that out when it's available.
	Calvin, your info was great by the way and the Gimp.app approach works 
wonderfully. I had a bit of 'teething troubles' trying to get things 
going, but once I copied the necessary files 'script', 'openDoc' and 
'Menubar.nib' (that was the one that got me) to the 'Resources' 
directory within my new bundle, I was good. I had a while ago organized 
my program to launch within a 'runtime' directory using the 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH method with the relevant GTK libraries, so all I had 
to do for the bundle version was copy that to the 'Resources' directory 
too and that was about it.

	Thanks,

	Derek
