Hi Richard, Adam, Florian

I finally got my hands on a Mac, courtesy of EnterpriseDB, to work on
fixing the outstanding Mac specific bugs in pgAdmin. I'm trying to build
pgAdmin and no matter what I try, I end up with a binary that always
displays behind other windows, and cannot seem to receive any focus at
all, with the exception of the traffic light buttons (do they have a
name?) at the top of the tip of the day and main windows. In addition,
the application menu is never shown. Running the last snapshot the
Florian uploaded (have they stopped permanently Florian, or is there a
problem?) seems to work as it should.

I've tried with wxWidgets 2.6.0 and 2.6.2, using both static and dynamic
libraries configured as per our instructions, and as Richard once
posted. I've also tried pgAdmin 1.2.2 from SVN, and the current trunk
code.

In addition to the obvious question of, 'what the heck might be going
wrong?', can any of you point me in the right direction for creating an
appbundle. I looked at the pkg/mac scripts but couldn't get them to do
anything useful (or if they did, I don't know where they put it!)

System details:

Kernel: Darwin 7.9.0
OS X: 10.3.9 (7W98), fully up to date
Compiler: gcc 3.3 (from the xcode package
PostgreSQL: 8.0.4

Any help would be appreciated, but go easy, you know I'm a Mac newbie!
:-)

Regards, Dave.
