   Does anyone understand what has changed in the Xquartz (now in Lion as X11)
which causes molmol to not display its widgets or menus? The issue seems to be
that the use of "< /dev/null" in the molmol startup script...

if [ "$input" = "-" -o -n "$nograph" ]; then 
    echo "LineBond solid 1  "  >>| $startmacro ; @PREFIX@/share/molmol/src/main/molmol $xopt 
else 
    echo "LineBond solid 1  "  >>| $startmacro ; @PREFIX@/share/molmol/src/main/molmol $xopt < /dev/null  
fi

is no longer tolerated under X11 in 10.7. Only if remove the use of "< /dev/null" does molmol
run normally.
