Hussein,

  You'll probably point out something very simple that I'm doing
wrong, but I installed the Mac .dmg version on my OSX 10.4.4 ppc
powerbook, in the same way as I've installed previous versions.  I
moved my ~/.xxe directory aside, to ensure that any previous plugins I
had installed weren't conflicting, and there are no extra files in the
xxe application addon directory since I copied it directly form the
dmg.

When I start xxe, I get the following exception on the console:

apple.awt.EventQueueExceptionHandler Caught Throwable :

and the UI is fairly unresponsive, with a spinning blue cursor.  The
addon installer will run, but "File -> New" does nothing. 
"File->Open" works.  "Help -> About..." says:

Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong?

Thanks,
