I tried searching the bug tracker for cocoa, apple, osx, macos, carbon... didn't
find what you're referring to.  If you can steer me in the right direction I'd be happy
to take a look.  (I'm already looking at why Pd gives duplicated menu entries for
"Preferences" so I might as well...)

Thanks.

Btw-- does anyone know a way to screw around with the contents of an OSX
*.app that _doesn't_ require giving root password every time I make a change?
It's quite telling that the user can run an app dl'd from the net, but the idea that
a user would ever change what an app does to suit their needs is so remote that
you  have to call the administrator in to sign off on it.
