The problem with the Finder version in X is that it's not correct.
As you noted, you get 10.1.2 when you're actually running 10.1.5.
So the concordance between Finder version and OS version is now
gone. You're going to get the right version if you use the gestalt
code I just posted.
The Finder version in X is completely correct.
Sheesh. That's just that poorly formed sentence I wrote. Of course
the Finder version is correct. What I should have said was that the
Finder version isn't correct if what you're looking for is the system
version. They are not in version lock-step.
It's the version of the Finder. As others have pointed out
recently, the Finder is not the OS, despite belief to the contrary.
I've never mistaken the two as the same. The Finder is just an
application, as was very clear when I used to boot into a system
partition with Virtual PC with no Finder at all (in fact, Virtual PC
was renamed Finder).
