This single thing (opening terminal automatically) would save my advisor some grief every time we upgrade Sage (I do the upgrade since the whole "associating Terminal with Sage" step in the installation is too technical). I can't test your solution (don't have a mac), but I heartily support any steps in the direction of making Sage easier to install and use on a mac. Thanks!
