Hi Patrick, Thanks very much for the details. I've done what you've said, and now Quicksilver shows me the Current Application item, but when it's highlighted and I click the right-arrow, I'm not getting "Show Menu Items" or similar. All I get is the "XYZ.app" item. Navigating further into that, I get some options, but no menu items.
Do you have any suggestions? I have the User Interface Access (+) plug-in enabled, I have Proxy Objects enabled in the Quicksilver Catalog preferences, and I have 'enable access for assistive devices' enabled in System Preferences -> Universal Access. Thanks again.
