changes to droplet created with Platypus

Hi all.

I teach astronomy and physics and I use VPython (http:// www.vpython.org), installed via Fink, nearly every day. I created a droplet using Platypus (http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus) to start up VPython by dropping Python scripts onto my droplet's icon. I also configured the droplet to launch X11.app and kill it upon closing VPython. Has anyone tested Platypus under Leopard yet? I can't upgrade from Tiger to Leopard unless I am completely certain I can do the VPython thing without a hitch. I also use XEphem extensively.

My understanding is that in Leopard, X11 apps can be launched from a Terminal window with no need to set DISPLAY. Did I get that correct?
