I havent tried qgit, but I've seen this happen with other apps, and the Qt/Mac docs mention the problem: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/mac-differences.html "GUI Applications must be run out of a bundle (something like widgets.app/) or using the open(1) command. Mac OS X needs this to dispatch events correctly, as well as gaining access to the menubar. If using GDB you must run with the full path to the executable."

I'm guessing the command line you used, obscured in the screenshot, was something like

> `pwd`/qgit

Try:

> open ./qgit

instead. BTW, the same advice is in the docs for Qt4.
