Right, you're not usually supposed to launch OS X applications by running
their executable directly; you're supposed to let the OS launch them, e.g.
by double-clicking them in the Finder, single-clicking them in the Dock or
Launchpad, or by using the `open` command. I didn't know if wxmaxima might
be an exception to that, or if perhaps there was a command line wxmaxima
that was supposed to be installed somewhere. It would help to know exactly
what problem the reporter is seeing.
