That will also work with sandboxing.
Per the other post, that's what I was thinking about, but then I realized: that's a hassle for tech support when you say to people "trash your preferences". Then they trash their prefs, and lose the authorization and have to authorize again. That's not standard practice - trashing preferences isn't supposed to trash the authorization. That was one of the reasons for the System Preferences - you have two preference files, pretty separated, and it's standard Mac practice to trash User Preferences per the phrase "trash your preferences" and NOT the system preferences. Even IF I write two preference files in the User Preferences folder, there's always a chance the user will delete the wrong preference file. This sucks. I might go the other way - use the helper app SMJobBless project and do it right.
