I also have the dreaded recovered files in the trash problem and have
just dealt with it for probably over a year now, though I'd love to
see it fixed.

I have 10.5.8 and Growl 1.1.6. I will probably upgrade to Snow Leopard
soon.

I don't know how to reliably replicate the problem, but I can try to
figure it out if it would be useful. I believe they only show up after
having run a specific application that sends notifications through
Growl. I haven't messed with turning on or off Growl or anything like
that. The filenames don't seem to have any hints as to which app
created them, but almost every time I opened one up and looked at the
text, I saw something that made me think it was related to Speed
Download. Speed Download just recently released an update and the
release notes mentioned that they had updated the Growl Framework,
which I thought would finally solve the issue, but I have gotten the
recovered files in the trash since then.

If memory serves... I believe I've also found some recovered Growl
files that referenced or hinted at Firefox as well, but I'm not
positive... it's been a long time since I saw one of those.

There have been previous threads about this in the past.... once there
was discussion about the change of Growl from being installed system
wide or per user and deleting the duplicate/older version, and I tried
all the suggestions in that thread but none of them resolved the
problem..... then there was a thread where someone eventually posted a
little app that showed the Growl Framework version of every app on
your computer that had the Growl Framework.... I used that and found
that Speed Download and Firefox have/had a woefully out-of-date
framework version, which is why I've been waiting for the day either
or both would update the Growl Framework in their apps, but as I said,
Speed Download just recently updated their Growl Framework and I still
get the files.

If you want me to try some things [and you're nice to me and don't
give me any of the typical snide comments ;-) ] I'll do them and
report back my findings. Otherwise, I'll just pray that maybe a clean
install of Snow Leopard solves the problem. Thanks! :-)
