Does this then mean that the existing code lacks something -- when running 
under Mac OS -- to be able to identify and launch a suitable application?


BTW, I noticed that only just recently is my GNUmed client auto-attaching not 
only generated PDFs, but also the tex file from which the PDF had been 
generated.

Can that be accounted for by some new code in a point release from the last 
several weeks?

If no, then it may reflect some quirkiness of newly running GNUmed on Mac OS 
10.8.x (Mountain Lion) in combination with a new X11 (Apple's XQuartz project 
community effort) and an updated MacPorts?
