So first off I see that I somehow got an older version of Coot lodged in my

Yes, there has to be some way to override automatic behavior.  (For instance, I'm using this right now to prevent Phenix from using the Coot installed by Fink, because Fink has broken on my computer, yet again.)

The Mac problems appear to have cleared up when I removed the hard-coded
path to the linux version of Coot in my preferences file.

Sorry, I hadn't thought about cross-platform issues when I set this up; not sure if there's a good way to deal with this.  I don't think there are too many people running Linux+Mac environments with shared home directories, but I've been worried about 32- vs. 64-bit compatibility.
