Peter, Hope I have done it correctly this time!! Anyhow, just a quick note to let you know how I ended up with two copies of growl. It was because when I installed Dropbox, I clicked on the option that I want growl notifications. This installed a preference pane on my ~/Library rather than /Library.
Not sure whether this is your remit, or this problem should be sent to Dropbox, but I thought I should let you know.
