I downloaded Gramps and then editted gtk.ijs so that
libdir=. '/Volumes/Gramps-PPC-3.2.5/Gramps.app/Contents/Resources/
lib/' and then ran jconsole without x11, but received the dreaded
error message we have seen again and again. When I looked at fexist
against libgtk and libgdk, they both returned 1's. Then I tried
to actually launch Gramps with the idea of repeating the
above steps after that launch, but could not launch Gramps
because I immediately got the error message that Gramps
cannot be run on this Mac OSX even though I was careful
to download the one that was designated for PowerPC Mac.
I could not find any info on which OSX is required, but mine is
10.4.11 and last one that works on my hardware.

So, it looks like I can use jgtk after I launch Gimp, not X11, and
after I quit Gimp I can open only X11 and jgtk will work fine,
unless I power down, in which case I have to remember to
launch Gimp first. At least this will work for me and I am
likely the last dinosaur around that will need a PowerPC Mac
install of jgtk.

Thanks, folks.
