We got that straightened out - Joe forgot to do that (it's mentioned
in the OSX readme).
I also worked out some improvements in the app startup script to
minimize the X11 focus switching. Now it doesn't "open" (*) X11 if
it's already running, thus avoiding a focus switch. It also records
which term application the script is running in (**) and returns focus
to that.
So now, starting X11 before GRASS (ie on login), or just leaving it
running after the first run of GRASS, seems to work well.
(*) 'open' runs an OSX application, and since an OSX application
normally can only have one instance running, it only activates it when
it's already running. I used this as a shortcut to checking if it's
running in the startup script.
(**) If run from a double-click or drag-n-drop, GRASS.app will always
use Terminal.app, but the grass script, as Joe is doing, could be run
directly from a different term app such as xterm or iTerm.
