Peter, thanks for the quick reply!! So for every user who wants to use Growlmail on the laptop, they will have to install it themselves?
I got very paranoid because of some very bizarre reason, I had two Growl preference panes (one in ~/Library, and one in the /Library) yesterday, straight after I did a clean install of SL, and installed growl. I didn't know what happened there. The only reason why I knew is when I tried to configure Growl from a standard user account, and it said that the preference pane is already installed, and do I want to replace it with the one I am trying to install (I definitely wasn't trying to reinstall Growl again-I just clicked on the menu bar icon). What do you think happened there? It is just really strange because I have actually just clean installed the OS, and reinstalled all the apps, rather than using the Migration Assistant). Thanks!!
