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.
