Dear Allan:

It may be a system shortcoming but it breaks the default OS X behavior. 
Personally I always launch X11 apps from the command line like any other
unix program, but OS X has been specifically designed to make these
binaries double-clickable or openable with the "open" command (as well as
the defective open-x11 command).

Is there not a way to simply exclude binary executable files from those
textmate claims as its own?  Other editors don't seem to do this.
