Ah no, it's not a problem with TortoiseHG, don't worry, it's just that on many
macs (including mine) GTK (or pygtk, I don't know, and it might just be the 
macports version) doesn't work correctly (with a bit of luck my next
machine won't have that issue), and it refuses to launch, so pygtk apps
don't work.

I've encountered that issue because we're using bazaar at work, and the "main"
bazaar GUIs are gtk. Simply can't be used on my machine.
