FIXED!!

After having Growl 1.3.3 on one of my Macs working just fine and another 
giving me the weird behavior of requiring 2 menu selections to get the 
Settings window to open with no tabs and trying every nuanced 
workaround/fix suggested in the relevant threads here with no change, I 
took the meataxe approach. 


I quit Growl and HardwareGrowler, dragged them from the Applications folder 
to the trash and emptied it, found every file and directory in ~/Library 
and /Library related to Growl and not part of some other app end gave them 
al the hearty rm -rf they so richly deserved. Also ran 'defaults delete 
com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp' and 'defaults delete com.growl.hardwaregrowler' 
to be sure. Running 'ps auxwww|grep -i growl' gave me nothing now, and 
'find /Library ~/Library -name "*[gG]rowl*" ' only gave me things in other 
apps'  directories so Growl itself was well and truly dead and gone as it 
deserved to be. I then fired up the AppStore, went to Purchases, and as 
AppStore is supposed to do, it offered me me Growl and HardwareGrowler with 
active Install buttons. CLICK! CLICK! wait…. wait… All downloaded and 
installed. Ran the apps, and Growl now works just fine. 


Yes, I have a few settings to set following the Growlocaust I inflicted on 
my system. But at least now I CAN.
