Since a lot of these how do I uninstall completely questions have been
coming up recently I was going to write up a note on how to do it.
But I think it's very clear in the manual in just over a page and
half. See installation starting on page 10. At the bottom of page 11
it lists all the files that QS installs.

The malloc errors indicate a problem with running out of memory. This
could be because of other things running or it could be with
Quicksilver if it's not a clean install. The usual problem with QS
demanding a lot of memory is a catalog configured to scan the entire
machine or very large objects (like images) in the clipboard history.
If you delete all the files at the bottom of page 11 while QS is not
running, neither of those should be an issue on restart (you'll lose
all your QS configuration). I've also ran into problems with a
PowerBook when a memory slot went bad and the hardware was only seeing
half the memory installed. Check in Activity Monitor how much memory
your machine sees and is using.

think my new install problem may have something to do with leopard.
the installer DMG only shows up for a second and then the opened app
icon appears in the downloads folder - so it is possible that nothing
is being installed....

Having same problem. I've trashed the QS folder in App Support and
tried to relaunch QS and it starts but then shuts down, no error
message. Have the latest version. Anything else to try?

To reset QS, trash ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver

My issue is that QS crashes on startup. Holding option and
starting
QS in verbose mode doesnt output anything to the console. My
guess is
theres something wrong somewhere.
Anyone know of a way to reset QS
