[GRASS5] xwininfo error on Mac OS X

[Nik Sands]

Thanks Glynn - It was only after I read your email and killed X11 and 
ran the "Wish Shell" that I realised it wasn't in fact using X11.  It's 
not always obvious in Mac OS X.

So the obvious follow-up questions are:

1.  Why isn't GRASS for Mac OS X using the standard unix X11 Tcl/Tk by 
default (I've got X11 installed and running other applications on it)?

2.  What am I supposed to run instead of "tcltkgrass" on Mac OS X?

Thanks in advance,
Nik.
