------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Two oddities in python25 and python26 (<2.5 not tested, so they may be
 affected as well, 3.0 also not tested):

  * Both python25 and python26 install IDLE.app (which needs py25-tkinter
 for python25), and when double-clicking it, it launches (through X11,
 since MacPorts' Tk links to X11) but the dock icon continues to bounce for
 some time.  Seems like the OS doesn't see it as having launched.

  * Running Tkinter's _test opens a window which then immediately
 minimizes; to test, use:
 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/python2.6 -m Tkinter -c 'Tkinter._test()'
 }}}
 or
 {{{
 /opt/local/bin/python2.5 -m Tkinter -c 'Tkinter._test()'
 }}}
