Daniel,
   Hopefully its only the demo in wxPython that has this restriction.
I'll try rebuild relax-py-1.3.14 against wxcocoa293 and my proposed
wxcocoa293-py package and see if the relax gui interface works properly.
The reason I am interested in this is that relax 1.3.13 and later
has a gui interface glitch with wxgtk2.8 where the initial window
is full screen but the content is drawn at 1000x600 pixels. I am
hoping this will disappear with the cocoa build. Upstream is a bit
confused about darwin and has only really been shipping the wxmac
builds of relax for ppc/i386 which apparently doesn't exhibit this
rendering bug.

ps Interestingly, with wxgtk2.8, if I hit the maximize button on the
window frame twice (to minimize and then maximize again) the window
in the relax gui is full screen and rendered properly.
