Interesting, thanks Tim for all the info. I had 'close windows when quitting an application' enabled, so I've tried disabling it to see what happens. Unfortunately I haven't been able to reproduce the problem yet.
This does give some pointers that the problem might be with the restoring of apps on relaunch ( see [1]) although QS currently doesn't advertise as supporting this anyway. We may need to set each window to be 'unrestorable'. Apart from the main QS window, clipboard and shelf are there any other windows that you regularly open/use in QS? Task viewer, do you consistently open the prefs? Either way, most of these features were added in 10.7, so it may be worth waiting until we drop 10.6 support before going all the way down this route (-[NSWindow setRestorable:]) hint: this won't be long ;-) [1] http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/OSX_Technology_Overview/CocoaApplicationLayer/CocoaApplicationLayer.html On 19 February 2013 12:29, Tim Lawson <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry everyone - I've lost the previous thread dealing with this issue. > > I wonder if I may have stumbled upon something that may throw light on > this issue... > > I am rarely in front of my screen when my iMac starts in the morning but > was the other day and noticed that my shelf and clipboard history panes, > which I keep docked to the right hand side of my screen, showed up as solid > black during the boot process.
