FWIW I hadn't found that enough of a description, either ;-)
I do wonder if it could be a Python version problem.
Are you running 10.5 Leopard or 10.4 Tiger?
If 10.4 Tiger see about
        export PATH
below.
If 10.5 Leopard which apparently uses Python 2.5.1 I had not had a  
chance to try it yet. Has anyone used Python 2.5.1 on other platforms  
to know whether it gives GNUmed any trouble?

You're sure that *which* works?

I am thinking that by tool bar, you mean the "Dock"?

When I run GNUmed client as the *bundled app*, there is only snake-on- 
gnu.

When I run GNUmed client from the downloaded tarball command line  
calling
        ./gm-from-cvs.sh
being aware that in Mac OS 10.4, calling the correct Python first  
requires
        export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
there is only the rocketship

IOW I can only get both in the dock at the same time if I have both  
launched the bundled app, *and* launched from the command line,  
without having quit either in between.

I tried launching the bundled app from the mounted disk image instead  
of from a copy that had been moved into my Applications folder, since  
I have sometimes forgotten to do that with a new application, but  
even that seemed to produce no problem.
