I decided to fix that Oddmuse:Moblogging thing... I can again send MMS containing both pictures and text to one of my email addresses where procmail will filter those mails, pipe them into a little Perl program, which will extract the data and post it using Oddmuse:wikiput.

I used Platypus to create a dock item for the Gimp. I installed gimp via fink, so there was no icon associated with it. And I didn’t want to install Gimp.app because that was about 80MB instead of 10MB; all libraries come bundled, I assume.
So, first a script that starts X11 if necessary, reads the fink init files, and ignores the first parameter (the directory of the script) if necessary. This is necessary when a file is dropped on the icon.
#!/bin/sh
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
if [ ! -f /tmp/.X0-lock ]; then
startx &
sleep 5
fi
if [ -d "$1" ]; then
shift
fi
export DISPLAY=:0.0
exec /sw/bin/gimp-real --no-shm --no-xshm "$@"
I also got the icon from Gimp.app site, chose the advanced option “Is droppable”, and I was done. Neat.
It took a bit longer to figure it out, of course... ;)
