[scribus] help compiling 1.3.5svn under Mac 10.5 Intel?

[Allen McBride]

Thanks, Craig.  Actually, just before you wrote it dawned on me to dig  
into the .App and try to run the executable from Terminal.  And it  
worked!  And 1.3.5 is beautiful!  No X11, and I no longer have the  
problem with Properties sub-menus being drawn behind the Properties  
dialog.  So I'm still curious to know why I can't launch the app from  
Finder in the normal way, and to know what would have happened if I'd  
not changed those lines like you're saying... but since launching from  
Terminal is no big deal, I think I'll put off reinstalling for a bit  
and enjoy what I have.

Thanks again!
