Yes.

Yes. It appears identical to Wish when launched from the command line, except
the program's name that is displayed in the (main) menu bar is plserver rather
than Wish.
When running x01c and selecting Tcl/TK Window for output, a program called
plserver appears and is similar to the plserver when launched from command
line, but with extra in-window menus as described earlier. In this case, a
_second_ Wish-like program is launched called x01c. (Both programs have a blue
feather icon in my dock which I gather is a Tcl/Tk logo.) The appearance of
x01c in the dock (sans feather) is also what happens when a program is run
using qtwidget so that's not that odd in itself. In this cases the x01c program
looks like a Wish program with the default Aqua menus but when I select e.g.
Run Widget Demo nothing happens except all of the menu bar items File, Edit,
Window, Help (all default items with an Aqua program) disappear, leaving only
the x01c menu and its standard items (About, Hide, Hide others, Services, Quit)
which are also standard "default" items for an Aqua program. (This will make
more sense if you've seen a Mac screen.)
I'd like to add this behavior and hope that it doesn't confuse things (more):
When I build plplot for tcl/tk (still 12221), the X server always launches. I
believe I saw, very briefly (1/10 second) a spurious window appear which might
be due to X. This _might_ be the mysterious window that I described earlier
when following the Tk readme that seems to have the words "One" ... "Four"
across the top. Also as part of the build output (as I have mentioned before),
this appears, possibly at the time the vanishing X windows flash on-off:

Also, recall that when running x01c and selecting for output New tk driver this
