That could have been my error -- I am trying to do some more with a 
shell script to find out why the wrong bbox is retrieved. And LaTeXiT 
won't run it because the hack for color.sty does not work with it, and 
so I might have chosen the wrong binary from 
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current.

Pierre, /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current is the right 
directory to get the binary from, although it's only a sym-link. The 
actual directory containing all teTeX binaries can differ, because the 
number like 7.9.0 is derived from the Darwin version on which teTeX was 
compiled -- it has nothing to do with Darwin's or Mac OS X's on which 
LaTeXiT is running. Gerben had in July an experimental release with 
8.x.y as that number, compiled with gcc 4 on Tiger. And think of 
Apple's plan to go to intel hardware! How do you create the path to the 
pdflatex binary? A sensible way would be something like 'system("which 
pdflatex")' ...
