The item in the side bar is mysql gui tools for 5.0 over here and the
package has no preference pane and no readme file in it. I think you got a
better package than what I managed to find.

I checked into this:
There are four potential downloads:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#macosx-dmg
Mac OS X 10.3 (PowerPC, 32-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4 (PowerPC, 32-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4, (PowerPC, 64-bit)
Mac OS X 10.4 (x86)
The DMG contains four items, a Read Me file, a Preference Pane, and two
packages: mysql - 5.0.45 and mysqlstartupitem.
I am able to touch all four items with VoiceOver and launch the installers
selecting and launching with a variety of methods.
In a finder window within the Sidebar do you have an item named:
mysql-5.0.45-osx, etc etc?

It's not happening. Command-option-shift-m has no effect. command-o opens
up the disk image file and selects the mysql tools folder. Inside that
folder are two applications and a widget. Actually I think what I read on
the web is complete misinformation about mysql; the worst part of it is
that misinformation is in the mysql manual itself found on the mysqlab home
page for installing to a macintosh 10.3+ computer. I'm going to do
something I shouldn't. I'm leaving that package on my mac and I'll take
that to the next smmug meating and get together with the club's data base
expert and see what maybe both of us can learn. If I can get this one
installed I'll put the lock pick up on the discuss list to help others who
might have a use for a data base on the mac get one installed and working.
