Try this one http://www.mdx4.org/uploads/kicad/Kicad-20-MAY-2011.zip

This uses an hacked version of wx-widgets to enable the Native wxOverlay,
the result is a working Kicad with some small issues but i think still
usable.

This was possible after the fix of some problems with the UserScale (
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/13216 ) now in the svn tree.

Still missing a native wxOverlay implementation under Cocoa:
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/12894
(The default implemented flickers)
