Good to know what the problem was.



Does XDarwin provide a standard X interface? i.e. are the

  if [ "$HOSTTYPE" = "macintosh" ] ; then

switches in lib/init/init.sh not generic enough?
Is your $HOSTTYPE "darwin"?


or is your (e.g.) Tcl/Tk assuming Apple's X11? I would think non-GUI
GRASS would be ok (d.mon, d.rast, etc).
