[GRASS-dev] Mac xterm wrapper problem with wxgrass

[William Kyngesburye]

Ah, that sort of hang.  I gave it a try, and it looks like the  
'osascript' I use is not exiting (use Activity Monitor and show All  
Processes Hierarchically, and you can see it under Python).  Quitting  
osascript (no need to force quit it) returns to Python.

And I verified that setting GRASS_XTERM=xterm, d.rast.edit does  
return control to Python.

hmmm....

Ah, that's got it!  I was saving the name of the application that  
initiates grass-xterm-wrapper so I could activate it when it  
finishes, otherwise the Terminal is left active.  While X11/TclTk  
seems to be OK with this, Python is not.  For some reason it stalls  
between closing the Terminal window and activating Python.

For now I disabled the reactivation of the calling app until I can  
figure out how to get Python to like it.  In CVS now.
