I know about them thank you.

Unfortunately double clicking of the gimp executable I got from 
darwinports still does not lunch X11.app or gimp. Neither does running 
it from the Terminal.

I get an error that says

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

does that help ?

And that's the situation I want GTK# apps running on OSX
to avoid.

I mean where talking about users who do not know what
to do with a Java app if double clicking on the jar file
does not run the program (not a problem on OSX but still
a problem in Linux and some Windows versions). Any one
who releases a GTK# app will be get exactly what I got
for planetGenesis* only from OSX users who have no idea
about the command line, *nix and X11

start at comment 4 to see exactly what fun releasing a Java app
can be. Believe me this is not a isolated incident.
