Don't get so stressed!  Whatever's going wrong with your specific install can 
be found and worked through; it's not the end of the world. :)

As far as Trillian goes, it will generate Growl notifications for messages only 
when you aren't actively focused on a specific conversation (as there's no 
point to generate a bunch of messages for what you're already seeing).  
However, if Trillian is not showing up in the Applications tab of Growl at all, 
then I suspect something bigger is wrong; if Growl is not registering Trillian, 
then it's not going to display the notifications.

What I'd recommend trying next would be downloading growlnotify from the 
website -- http://growl.info/downloads -- and then using it from Terminal to 
test.  Once growlnotify is installed, open Terminal and type:

growlnotify -m "This is a test."

If that works, then something's wrong on Trillian's side (and I can help you 
diagnose that off-list).  If that doesn't work, then something's not right with 
your Growl install.  From what I've seen on the list, there's been a couple 
times when the App Store has installed Growl oddly; if growlnotify doesn't 
work, you might want to try quitting Growl, uninstalling it (from LaunchPad), 
then reinstalling it (from the App Store) and starting it back up to see if it 
works after that.

Hope that helps!
