Jeremy,
   There is no active molmol development (ie it is abandonware). However, I 
would note that
this same issue occurred about 20 months ago and was fixed in one of the xorg 
updates at the 
time...

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/21835

Interestingly I don't see this problem with fink's molmol under SL (but do with 
Lion). I
believe I also saw this with recent MacPorts on SL as well though. So the 
problem seem
to have reappeared in recent xorg used in both MacPorts and Lion.
