When you launch Yahoo! Messenger, or at some other time of its choosing, it should register itself with Growl. (Or it can have a plist file inside that Growl will notice when you launch it; if it doesn't have such a file, it must register itself by action.) If it doesn't have a Growl registration file inside it, and it doesn't register itself, then it won't show up and won't be able to talk to Growl (and probably won't even try). If it is supposed to talk to Growl, then it needs to either have a Growl registration file inside itself or talk to Growl to register itself, and if it doesn't, then that is a bug in Yahoo! Messenger. Moreover, if all other applications send notifications through Growl successfully, then the problem is definitely not with Growl; it is with Yahoo! Messenger. Whether it's a misconfiguration or a bug, the problem is with Yahoo!'s software, so they're the ones you need to ask about this/report it to. Before you ask “how do I check for that file”: Don't bother. It won't be missing it unless you removed it. If it doesn't have one, either it registers by talking to Growl or it doesn't talk to Growl at all (or it has a bug, which is what appears to be the case); finding no such file will tell you nothing, and creating one yourself will not help.
