New description:

 With regards to a GTK native look and feel, I aimed to solve these
 problems:
  * integrate menus with OSX's menu bar
  * native looking widgets
  * change ctrl-alpha bindings to cmd-alpha

 Current solution: `gtk2 +no_x11 +quartz` with a theme such as `gtk-osx-
 tiger`.

 Problems:
  * apps start behind the currently focused window
  * some ports require `+x11` (such as some of `yelp`'s dependencies)
  * each binding has to be manually added

 The solution I have currently is adequate for now, but I would like to
 work on a more long-term solution based on '''GlobalMenu''':[[BR]]
 http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/issues/detail?id=136&q=mac

 X11 apps start in the foreground. I notice that with `gtk2 +x11`, X11.app
 responds to cmd-Q even when the gtk app is focused. So some combination of
 X11 and GlobalMenu could make the best solution. X11.app's menus could be
 replaced with GlobalMenu, it could capture cmd-alpha and send ctrl-alpha
 to the gtk app. X11.app's dock icon could be hidden.

 What do you think?

 James.
