TclTk or wxPython GUI?

For the TclTk GUI I now use an Aqua TclTk (ActiveTcl).  The menus are  
where you would find them in any other normal Mac application, not in  
the window.

I've seen random ocurrences in wxpython GUI where the titlebar gets  
covered by the menbar.  I think it may have something to do with a  
mismatching runtime Python vs what GRASS was compiled for.

My GDAL framework has Xerces support, for ILI and GML formats.

There is no xerces program that GRASS can run, so Xerces would have to  
be used as a library and compiled into GRASS.
