I've already built Python to support X11 Tkinter, so that's not an issue.
I finally got the built-in freeze tools to work (as a universal binary)
and am running my app inside an application bundle. It uses an
AppleScript launcher stub to set the DISPLAY and start up X11.app.
There's some jiggering that has to be done with the installation of
Tcl/Tk inside the app bundle so the frozen binary sees things correctly,
but it's not too hard. After I've polished this up a bit and have
released something I will document it somewhere.
