I've downloaded the package and installed the inkscape app. Preliminary impressions:

- back to using XQuartz I guess! Oh well! :P
- my computer is butt-slow, and startup is exceedingly slow compared to the homebrew version
- everything looks a bit nicer in terms of the interface compared to the homebrew version
- opening files works fine, saving files works fine
- I also notice the icons are slightly cropped

Overall, it's back to what I'm used to with mac packaging :)

Incidentally, what's the status of making Inkscape with a native Mac GUI (i.e. no Xquartz needed, no ctrl+<> key combos, etc.)?  Is it a matter of getting a mac developer on board or is there much more to it than that?

Thanks for your work!  I'll mention if I notice anything but I'm not a heavy user so you probably won't hear much from me!

If you know of some specific people who are a bit technical and who
don't mind joining the developers mailing list, then this is a good
opportunity to invite them in to test the new package and report back
here.

This way we'll build more Mac testers here (because testing is
development QED)
