Thanks for the reply! Actually I did install CS5 today too so that very well could have been it. I got my first growl notification from Evernote so just I assumed that was the culprit. Then there's also the Evernote release notes: http://blog.evernote.com/2009/03/10/big-evernote-for-mac-update/ that say it "ships with Growl," but I guess it's unclear whether that means it installs it for you or just supports notifications.
