Hello,

I'm not the right guy for this; I don't know what Valgrind is or even less 
how to use it or what a native OS X tool would be. Somebody else with 
better understanding of these things have to do the debugging.

The OS X GUI is very fine as it is, some more hotkeys would be nice and 
there is no screen-estate problem to add more and more features to it.

Just because the SDL GUI can't do X and Y, why should that also cripple a 
decent GUI as the one on OS X?


Anyway just for the heck of it I threw together a 64x25 ASCII page with a 
way it could handle any number of setting screens and avoid the "go back 
to main" annoyance.
