I think the problem of Lang is different, he says: "The problem is especially with GEM, as in this case I have double lights turned on and everything is too bright." It is more a problem of the patch launching twice in the same pd instance, specific to OSX 10.7+ (IIRC)
Under osX, to launch two pd instances you just have to start them from terminal.
