I've seen the same behavior - a blank toplevel + console, when double- 
clicking a .kit file in Tiger.  Did not think much of it since I  
usually launch from the command line (and most of the time it's the  
X11 version, not Aqua).

Digging deeper: argv is set to "-psn_0_13500417", i.e. no filename  
added (the added -psn stuff is "normal" on OSX).

 From the command line, typing "/usr/bin/wish blah.kit" works.

I tried to make a script that would be double-clickable, but couldn't  
figure it out.  Maybe someone else has a tip - I can't make more time  
for this today.

Have seen similar behavior with Vim, btw - when I drag a file to Vim  
which I have in the dock, it comes up with a fresh screen.  Dragging  
it again while it's running then opens up the right file.

Look like 10.4 changed some startup detail.  Blech.
