You have "toggle singlegame true" ?
Then theoretically the server should refuse to open two games at the
same time. Or do you mean sort of doubled board for the same game? Never
got this myself, but don't want to say it could never happen.

For the 1.1 version I did a major interface overhaul for the Mac
version. A lot of those small problems should be fixed, and the whole
thing looks more "Mac-like", but it isn't perfect yet. The main problem
here is, wxWidgets - the interface library I use for glGo - is very
mature on Windows and Linux, but not yet mature on Mac. It's quite
difficult to make it look the same on all three platforms. It's much
easier with Java in gGo, but I personally hate gGo on the Mac because
Java looks quite alien on it (uncommon keyboard shortcuts for example).

That's a stupid error in glGo, I fixed this meanwhile for the next version.

glGo has the same "Edit" button like gGo in observed games, which opens
a local board to edit ongoing observed games. I'm not exactly sure what
you mean here. gGo had that "Edit" button for _own_ games long ago, but
I removed that after talking to some other client authors.
I am slowly finding myself using the Mac as my main machine, I
absolutely love OS X. So it's quite likely glGo on Mac will improve. :)
