Read the changelog to start: 
http://growl.info/documentation/version_history.php  A little bit more than 
two broken styles, although maybe "pounds" instead of "tons."

Visit the googlecode site and check out the "Issues" area for another. You 
can see if your issue might be addressed in an upcoming update. Shouldn't 
be too much trouble for a dev to find their way around. 

Its admirable that you want to support the devs but I spent a number of 
unpaid weekends trying to get 1.3.1 working before eventually rolling it 
off 50 machines and putting 1.2.2 back  - during which time putting up with 
the abuse and heckling from my users.

I guess that'll teach me to use "free" software then?  Oh, hang on, 1.3.x 
is the *paid for* version isn't it? :)
 
As someone who is co-support for 1,400+ computers at a University, your 
long weekends are, respectfully, your own fault.  We'd NEVER roll out 
software to 50, 100 or 500 machines without testing!  Be it Adobe CS, 
Office, or something comparatively trivial as an FTP client or, yes, even 
Growl. Even though it's been out a little while now, and it's been rolled 
into my 10.7 master image, it's STILL in limited deployment undergoing some 
testing.  I'm comfortable enough with what I've seen that it will make it 
into my summer faculty replacement cycle which will encompass many more 
computers.

As an aside, you might want to look at Remote Desktop and the task server 
feature. While you might have lost a weekend; maybe only 1/2 of one, you 
could have automated the shuffling around of Growl. Task it to run the 
switch as each user's computer becomes visible, assuming you're not in a 
position to have them all running and on the net at the same time.
