Hmm. I don't doubt that I've inadvertently made things harder than they need to be, but... I've just tried uninstalling the ActiveState stuff and removing the MacPorts stuff. Indeed git gui runs, but I no longer get the nice icon (instead a default Tcl/Tk icon with a feather). Launching gitk from the git gui menu results in the same behavior for me: it launches and its menu appears, but no window. It is quite odd because I can open the preference window for gitk via the menu and _that_ mini window does appear. Same thing if I launch gitk from the command line. If I try to open the "Git Gui.app" I get: ziti:git-gui seth$ open Git\ Gui.app/ LSOpenFromURLSpec() failed with error -10810 for the file /Users/seth/src/git-MASTER/git-gui/Git Gui.app. I've recently upgraded my system to Leopard, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is related to some of these issues. Is there a big difference between how git gui uses Tcl/Tk and gitk? It seems really odd to me that one works and the other not so much :-\ Any other things to try or suggestions of where to look for root causes?
