Hi, attached PyQt script demonstrates an ugly issue, I'm desperately fighting with since a couple of days :-(.
Issue: when starting the app via double click or single click on dock icon or dropping a plain/text file on dock or application icon, all actions lead to two bouncing icons. The one with the blue spot is the good one, that stops bouncing after start-up. The bad one will stop bouncing eventually, and shows "Application not responding" in its context menu then. As long as the bad one exists, dropping files on the good one will be ignored. After killing (and sometimes removing from the dock is necessary) all is well - one can drop files one the good one and on the app icon, all behaves well, up to the point of being terminated, then this ugly game starts again. The issue is not depending on the arch, but on OS-X 10.5. It does not happen with 10.4. It may be related to pyinstaller, but since I need to deploy the app on arbitrary 10.4 and later systems, omitting it is not an option. Pre conditions: OS-X 10.5(.7/.8) with ppc or x86 arch Xcode 3.1.3 Python-2.6.2 Qt-4.5.2 sip-4.8.2 PyQt-4.5.4 Build it this way: tar xvzf launchprob.tar.gz && cd launchprob && ./build.sh -debug This command will fetch pyinstaller's SVN trunk, build pyinstaller, generate the app itself: LaunchProb.app. It can be moved to any system, as long as all required packages are cleanly built for both archs(*) and the minimum OS-X release is 10.4. Any ideas how to solve this issue are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete (*) I can provide more details for this on request
