OK that is good to know.

This is important. Check where python is installed. If 'which python' shows
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python or something
similar, you have a framework version. If on the other hand it shows
/usr/bin/python, /usr/local/bin/python, or something similar, you don't have a
framework version. I don't know what fink installs by default. If you don't
have Python installed as a framework, some backends (including the MacOSX
backend) will not interact properly with the window manager. This is a Mac
peculiarity. If you build Python from source, you can specify to install a
framework version by passing the --enable-framework option to the configure
script.

Some backends go make use of X11 (e.g., the gtkcairo backend), others do not
(e.g., the MacOSX backend). The MacOSX backend should work with both the native
Mac terminal and with an X11 terminal.
