Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get started with Gem. It seems to be working, except I've noticed a strange issue. When launching a Gem window on os x, an application labeled "pd" with no icon shows up in the dock, which I assume is Gem's display application. However, when I destroy the window, "pd" remains in the dock, and becomes unresponsive. I'd like to figure this out, as it is eating up CPU. I'm on a spring-2010 Macbook Pro 15" with OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks!

*edit* My friend with the same model laptop on Lion has the same issue.

bump for clarification about why the extra pd icon becomes unresponsive, and if this is normal.

Actually, checking again, the CPU issue doesn't seem to be so bad. I don't mind the existence of the extra icon. I'm more concerned at the fact that the pd icon (the one for gem) becomes unresponsive once a gemwin is killed. Is that normal? A command-option-escape shows that the application isn't responding.
