On OS X 10.6.8, when I execute "idle", I see nothing in the Terminal and the IDLE GUI launches but is not visible until I Command-Tab to the "Python" application. I stumbled upon a solution to this problem using OS X's built-in /usr/bin/osascript utility. Attaching a patch...

This is really a duplicate of Issue11571 which gives an easier way to do this directly using Tk calls.  I'll see about getting that applied.
