There are some problems. An update of Mac OS X on about 15 May 2009 changed gramps's behaviour in several ways, too. Presumably, these changes are the results of fixing bugs in the Apple X11 implementation.

* Gramps on Mac uses ctrl-x, ctrl-c, ctrl-v for cut, copy, paste. The standard for mac programs, including X11 programs, is cmd-x, cmd-c, cmd-v. Before the 15 May 2009 update, ctrl-click or right-click would allow a paste into gramps. After the 15 May 2009 update, right-click now allows paste into gramps, but the item pasted is only one copied from within gramps. For example, it is no longer possible to copy a cell from an openoffice spreadsheet and paste it into gramps in any way.

* Some text pasted in - notably the contents of a cell from an Openoffice spreadsheet, but possibly other as well - has a <LF> character at the end, unexpectedly. (This can no longer be demonstrated after the 15 May 2009 update).
