Totally understood.  I'm not even sure KDE's appropriate for OSX anyway 
and the other one is a /very/ rough proof of concept only, so from the 
beginning I doubted it'd be worth it for you.  I mainly posted since the 
comment came up, in case anyone else wanted it, and in case you had other 
minor uses for it too, in which case it might be worth it. 

As for the scripts themselves, I mainly did it based on an idea someone 
else had for using the external editor to gpg sign their messages, as I 
had previously stated several times that it should be possible... and I 
eventually got the wild hair to jump in and prove the concept myself.  
That's where it sat for about a year, until I got another wild hair, and 
decided to upgrade it to the dialog version, just to demonstrate /that/ 
was possible.  Now it has sat about another year, and I'll probably get 
another wild hair one of these days, and get the improvements I've been 
sitting on out.  (One of the things I had sort of been waiting on was to 
see what GPLv3 was going to look like, to see if I wanted to upgrade to 
it or not.  The scripts are GPLv2 ATM, but that's not really appropriate 
for scripts of that size, and I'm strongly considering switching to 
Creative Commons AT/SA, Attribution, Share-alike, as somewhat more 
appropriate.)

But back to the topic at hand, as this is wandering rather far from it.  
I don't happen to know enough about OSX to contribute much to it, but I'm 
certainly following the discussion with interest, as it's one of those 
strange ones where the ultimate cause and solution are likely to be 
rather interesting... with possible applications to other problems I 
might see either personally or on other groups/lists I follow. =8^)  Of 
course, that's in addition to the concern if it should spread beyond the 
single pan instance we know of ATM, and human sympathy with the problem 
as you are experiencing it based on knowing how frustrated I'd be if it 
were me. =8^(
