Robyn,
To make these even easier, make a small shell script to launch via
Finder.
1. Make a text file with .x11app as the extension (e.g., gnucash.x11app)
2. In the file:
#!/bin/sh
/sw/bin/gnucash
3. Save the file and give it execute permission (chmod u+x
gnucash.x11app)
Now you can assign it an icon (the regular mac way) and double-click
it to launch gnucash. Apple X11 is also smart enough to launch X11 if
it isn't already open.
