Thanks for all that. After I posted, I realised I could find out about
WINDOWING by running python from the console, and yes, it says x11 on my
machine (in lower case!). (BTW I updated 4310 to refer to another report of
the same problem).

Yes, I think I did - my problems were partly self inflicted, because I did
quartz on top of x11, so ended up with a mess (I don't think all the
dependencies work quite right if you change mid-way!). Also, when I found
the problem with the Ancestry display in bug 4310, I just retired hurt!

Still, x11 MacPorts is OK for me for now. My biggest concern is the slow
running with the BSDDB with Python 2.6, so I am using 2.5 till I am forced
to change.
