Can you try running Tux Paint from Terminal.app?  You might be able
to see what errors, if any, Tux Paint is reporting.

Find "Terminal" on your hard disk, under Applications, then Utilities
(usually).

Use the "cd" command in the Terminal to navigate to where your Tux Paint
application is stored.  For example, I placed everything from the DMG
into my Applications folder, so I typed:

  cd /Applications/"Tux Paint"

That folder contains the Tux Paint program ("Tux Paint.app", which looks
like a subdirectory), Tux Paint Config, and other stuff.

If, for example, your Tux Paint program (the launcher icon) was right
on your desktop, you'd simply go to your desktop folder:

  cd ~/Desktop


Now, run the Tux Paint from the terminal, by calling the executable that
lies deep within:

  ./"Tux Paint.app"/Contents/MacOS/"Tux Paint"

On my system, since I also have a shortcut to Tux Paint on my dock, its
icon began bouncing.  After a moment, Tux Paint's main window appeared and
the chime sound effect played.

On your system, I'm hoping you'll get some meaningful error message displayed
in the Terminal window, which you can then copy-and-paste into a reply
here on this list. :^)

Good luck!
