Congrats. Nice job.

when running the gm-from-vcs.sh script this would call the stock python and 
not the one in /opt/local

I believe it does. I used the two lines above as they were designed for that 
exact scenario and it lets you switch back any time

git is not installed but that is of no concern for a user. Only if you want to 
update the source code through git itself you need to install this.

See above. Once could update the sources without having to download tarballs 
all the time. Only for developers.

@Karsten. Maybe we can do this already ? Does pyhton 2.5 allow this already ?

I never saw that error. Guess it has to do with the combination of python, 
wxpython and thereby GNUmed. I guess you called the old python, thereby the 
old wxpython if at all and thereby a broken connection to X11

There are multiple ports of wx on Mac. Research is advised to find out if X11 
is neccessary.

See above.

Karsten will comment I am sure.

Should not happen when python is properly installed. If it does it is a bug 
which needs to be reported to the wxpython guys.

That is my suspicion.

Nope. I don't think so.

That is the important bit.

hhm. never saw this before. I only means that X11 is not 100% working to the 
point where screen rotation and stuff comes into play.

Good job. BTW. The screeshots you posted look very X11fisch meaning the 
buttons, tab etc do not really look Mac-ish. I suspect this is due to how 
wxpython is compiled. I will try to investigate how this was compiled on 
Tiger.
