OK, this is weird. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard a month or two ago, I saw the exact same phenomenon that Ben describes (but stereo continued to work fine in Coot). I was too busy to follow it up, however.
This morning, prompted by Ben, I tried again, and lo and behold stereo in MacPyMOL works fine (!). Maybe there was some system upgrade/bug fix that I automatically applied to the OS during the past few weeks/months via Software Update that cured it? I invoke the stereo version with this command: /Applications/PyMol/MacPyMOL.app/Contents/MacOS/MacPyMOL -X -1250 -Y 100 -S The X/Y placement is to ensure that the window falls on my CRT, and the -S seems to be necessary to force stereo (if I just run regular MacPyMOL, selecting the quad-buffered option has no effect). So maybe just sit on your hands and hope it mysteriously cures itself?
