The following report is for Tux Paint 0.9.12.
I've asked the reporter to try out the latest 0.9.14 test-build,
since I know Martin has been working on some stuff that might affect this
(hopefully in a good way) :^)


In the meantime, any comments or suggestions?  Martin, will the 0.9.14 changes
allow Tux Paint to work as expected?

> 10. Close "System Preferences."
> 11. Open "System Preferences" again.
> 12. Click "Accounts."
> 13. Click the new user you created on the left.
> 14. Click the "Limitations" tab for that user.
> 15. Click the "Some Limits" tab.
> 16. Click the "Applications" branch and find "Tux Paint."
> 17. You'll see that "Tux Paint" is NOT selected anymore, but "TextEdit" is.
