Comment(by christopherglong@…):

 So, I started tinkering with this some more, specifically with `wish`.  I
 found some interesting observations:

 Running `wish` with `tk +quartz` gives some strange results.
 Specifically, the graphics window appears, and the command prompt works.
 However, I still can't give focus to the graphics window; when I hover
 over it, the cursor changes to a beachball (the Dock and Activity Monitor
 report it as not responding).  Despite this, it still responds to commands
 sent to it from the Terminal.  The window size changes depending on the
 length of labels placed into it.  It does not redraw automatically; labels
 and buttons only become visible when a new object has been added to it or
 when Exposé is activated.

 Running `wish` with regular `tk` returns the following error message:

 {{{Application initialization failed: couldn't connect to display ":0"}}}

 However, if I open `X11.app` first manually, it runs perfectly (whether it
 is launched from `Terminal.app` or `xterm`).  Having `X11.app` open also
 fixes my original Python command (at least with regular `tk`).  Like
 #17463, it minimizes upon launch, but still behaves normally.
