You might want to look at XDroplets, a program that generates
wrappers for X11 applications that one can click on or drop files
on to execute them.  For instance, I have one I call Gvim.app
that executes the vim editor in an xterm (I don't like the GUI
versions of vim, but prefer working in a simple xterm).
