> On 10.6, this builds successfully for me. (There are a few warnings,
but no errors.) It looks good to me; I like the new menus. My comment
about Terminal windows closing when the shell exits now applies to the
option "Reveal in shell": if I'm lucky, I see a Terminal window flash open
and then close, but sometimes I don't see anything at all. I'm not sure
this option is worth keeping; other opinions?
I changed it to run `cd ... && $SHELL` which makes more sense anyway. So
that particular problem should be fixed. I guess you can tell that I
tested with a version that doesn't exit :-)
> One other minor suggestion: perhaps change the "Sagemath" menu item in
the Help menu to "www.sagemath.org" or "Visit www.sagemath.org"?
Good idea.

> > I finally got the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET set in the Xcode interface
by changing it 10.1, and then back. For some reason changing between 10.5
and 10.4 didn't actually cause it to be set in the project file correctly,
even though it showed up in the interface. It finally builds an app with
Minimum System Version set to 10.4 instead of 10.5. I also deleted the
SDK so it should default to what the machine has for default. Hopefully
this will allow it to be built on both 10.4 and on 10.6 without the 10.4
SDK.
> Thanks, Ivan. So close... now it attempts to open. Apparently the
selector is causing trouble, though, and it doesn't actually open. Bug
report coming up.
I see that that is indeed 10.5+ only. Unfortunately, I can't find how to
get Xcode to warn me of such things. I swear I had it doing that
before... Anyway, if you could try compiling again and send me any
warnings that are produced when building. I made sure to fix all the
warnings on my machine. In particular what we are looking for is "may not
respond to" warnings.
Thanks both of you for your patience.
