Yeah… that doesn't quite work as expected - you still use the X11 backend even 
with qt4_mac support (go figure… partly why I don't really place much hold in 
this variant). The cocoa variant on the other hand is newer and gives real 
native OSX GUI support, and does work well for me. X11 is really not used 
(although again for perverse reasons the build/install dependency is still 
there at the moment. Hopefully will be fixed some time …).

I cannot though reproduce your failure. The variant combination

just worked find for me….

Can you reproduce the failure you had ?

cocoa works fine for me….

I also am keen to get cling working, but this is still very very experimental 
and I haven't managed it yet. I test the variant each time but so far it still 
fails …. I suspect this may not be a viable alternative until ROOT 6 is 
released, but we can hope...
