1 Hi

3 I have Emacs installed in a Gentoo Prefix installation on OS-X
4 (10.8.2). Emacs works when started in a terminal (-nw). However,
5 when started without options, although it creates a window and
6 seems to work, it does not receive input from the keyboard - input
7 goes to the shell that started emacs. Mouse input seems ok, but the
8 application menu that runs along the top of the screen (separate
9 from the emacs window) still says "Terminal".
10
11 Here is the list of options used (I didn't touch the USE flags so
12 this is the default). I notice that 'aqua' is ON and 'X' is OFF,
13 which seems right (the X server is not installed).

33 I could rebuild with 'X' turned on, but it would be nicer to keep
34 the aqua build. Any suggestions how to fix this?
