Hi Dan,

I work on MacOSX SL 64 bits. wxGTK/X11 is not avaiable on this platform, and
I had to develop a 3D viewer with the python-xlib library. The result is a
XDisplay.py script, with low level X11 calls. It's a lightweight solution,
that does not allow to build complex GUI, but it's enough for my needs.

In the mid/long term, we wait for the upcoming Qt release (4.6, 64 bits
support on MacOSX, Cocoa based) and, also, a native Cocoa OCC implementation
(I'm afraid we have to wait for a long time!). The OCC/X11 dependency on OSX
has to be considered as a hack, not as an optimized solution.

Installation of wxGTK/X11 is really a mess on OSX, I gave up with it. But
Jelle is on Tiger/32 bit and got something running.
