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

["Calvin Ellis" <kyndig gmail com>]

[forgot to use gtk-list as reply]

        I'd appreciate any help about it. This may not even be the correct list
to ask such things on (since it's a big Mac related) but since I'm using
GTK for my cross-platform GUI, I thought I'd ask).

Use  Gimp.app approach. They wrapped their application in a shell script. The script launches the x11 terminal, catches the  display, and then executes the  program ( after setting required env values ) . They also detail how to package it on their website:
http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/

This is the approach I use to bundle gtk with my MAC OS X distro - and the method of launching. I've been told it works on both Panther and Tiger versions of OS X without a glitch.
