Hi,

I just put a big patch for JOSM into Trac (ticket #1589) to make JOSM 
look and feel a little bit less foreign on OS X.

As soon as someone includes it into JOSM, the following will change on 
OS X (only):

* Menu bar will be where it belongs (but: won't work with Metal and 
CDE/motif LookAndFeels). Menu options Quit, About and Preferences will 
also be where they belong (and this works for all LookAndFeels)

* Hotkeys will use Command instead of Ctrl (some plugins may fail here)

* Command-Q can be used safely without risk of data loss

* If you have Quaqua installed, you can select it from the LookAndFeel 
list and get an almost native file open/close dialog

Just a little forewarning... ;)

Henry
