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. Jack 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
