Horst, The first problem below was resolved by Gary Sherman. I had an older version of the Plugin Installer in the plugin folder. Removing that allowed the built-in installer plugin to run, and that fixed the permissions problem.
Still no luck with problem 2 at this point. I tried on my ubuntu vm and the menu worked as expected, so this may be a mac-specific issue. Cheers, John On Feb 18, 2008, at 11:24 AM, John C.
