Hi Kevin,

A belated response...thanks for the detailed message.

FWIW, it's definitely a wxWindows-generated dialog, not OS X native, 
because its behavior is like Carbon, not Cocoa, and it doesn't comply 
with the Aqua HIG.

Works for me.

And as I mentioned in my post a few minutes ago, now the window doesn't 
come up at all. I think this happened as of the CVS checkin on the 8th 
abt 20:00.

In fact, I just verified this by doing cvs up -D 2003-07-08T19:00 and 
recompiling...when I run samples/treectrl/treetest.rb, the window comes 
up, and no dialog! (Huzzah!) (I left in the patches posted to the list 
earlier today.) No menu bar, either, though. Here's the one line 
printed to STDERR:

## Component Manager: attempting to find symbols in a component alias 
of type (regR/carP/x!bt)

But samples/minimal/minimal.rb almost completely succeeds. There's no 
menu bar, if it's supposed to have that, and I can't bring the window 
in front of other programs' windows. BUT I get no errors in dialogs or 
STDERR, and I can activate, resize, and close the window.

For some reason, samples/artprov still gives me the "no bitmap handler 
for type 9 defined." dialog. The main window does appear, but doesn't 
activate or respond to clicks in any way.

listctrl/listtest.rb just gives me the dialog, nothing else.

None of these have burped out to STDERR.

Hope this helps. Seems like this is getting warmer.

(Just for kicks, can I try running Redwood to see what works and what 
doesn't?)

Again, this message is based on the CVS head at 2003-07-08T19:00. The 
checkin after that seems to've broken my machine worse.
