On further investigation there is too much dependency in PCBNEW on the 
GR_XOR and GR_OR modes. The path of least resistance is for you Mac 
users to get someone to fix the wxMac for you, i.e. find out what needs 
to be done to get wxOR mode working. And find out if wxXOR is working 
or not and make it work if not.

There is way too much code in PCBNEW that depends on this. I just went 
through it all tonight. Trust me.
