Actually, it turns out that bug#1 seems to affect all key bindings, not just Cmd-T.
I'm going to try my hand at fixing IOhannes' issues with the original pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 startup procedure. It was well tested in a lot of use cases, so I think the best bet is to try to address the specific known issues rather than changing it drastically.

Hey Miller,
It seems in the process of the merge, something with the font panel got messed up. I tested using Tcl/Tk 8.4.19 and 8.5.8 and it exists using both. I also tested on pd-gui-rewrite/0.43 and the problem does not exist there. Here's how to reproduce it:
- start pd
- type some random text in the Pd window text field
- using File->Open open 2.control.examples/02.editing.pd
- bug #1: Cmd-T flashes the Edit menu but doesn't launch the Font
panel
- then choose Edit->Font to get the Font menu
- try changing the font size
- bug #2: the Pd Window font size changes, not 02.editing.pd, even
tho the patch has focus
These might seem like trivial bugs, but I think they are pointers that things are not being initialized properly with the removal of the vwait stuff in main().

Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
