That has nothing to do with the OS upgrade; the Growl installer does this when you install Growl. Growl itself does not add itself to the login items. The Growl status item does, but only when started, which you would have to do yourself (by checking the box) if it's not already in the login items. If you did not check the box (the status item started “on its own”), then it was already in the login items. You can see this for yourself in the Accounts pane. On a side note, upgrading to Leopard should not make your system slower. On the contrary, my three-year-old laptop ran a lot faster on Leopard than Tiger. Check Activity Monitor for processor- and/or disk-hogging processes, and maybe run a system trace in Shark or Instruments if you have the developer tools installed. > The problem is when I reboot, Growl reappears in the menu and the pref not to > show is rechecked (it was unchecked before reboot). The checkbox reflects whether the Growl status item is in the login items list. As I noted above, the status item will re-add itself to the login items list whenever you launch it. The status item is separate from Growl's main process, so that the status item can indicate when Growl is turned off (main process not running). In this case, the status item will appear in the menu bar, but the enabled and disabled states of its menu items will reflect that Growl itself is not running (you would need to start it). I'm pretty sure it's supposed to indicate visually that Growl is not running, but I'm not seeing the code for that. Did we remove that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
