Re: [growl-discuss] Two Growl Icons in the Dock

[Christopher Forsythe]

Did you uninstall 1.x before installing Growl 2.x?

Why? and how can I normalize it?

It's very likely that Growl is trying to start twice on login. Growl
2 uses a new method of starting at login from Growl 1.x due to being
sandboxed. Growl 1.4 had a transition system which removed our entry
in system preferences and started the new system which uses launchd,
because we can't remove the old entry when sandboxed. Go in to System
Preferences and make sure that Growl/GrowlHelperApp aren't listed
there.

There's no Growl/GrowlHelperApp either in System Preferences itself or in Startup Items.

This just came to mind, if you are using OSX Mountain Lion (10.8), it
has a feature that relaunches apps on login. This keys off apps
active in the dock, so when Growl's dock icon is showing when you log
out, OSX will launch Growl when you log back in, in addition to
running the helper app we use to launch Growl (which tries to launch
Growl even though it is already running). This could possibly trigger
the edge case of double dock icons. Try turning off the start at
login switch in Growl's preferences (but leave the dock icon visible),
and try logging out and back in and see if Growl still launches.
Growl 2.1's launcher helper has a check on whether Growl is already
running before trying to launch it to avoid other issues related to
double launching.

I turned off "start at login" in Growls pref, and rebooted.
Of course there's no Growl working when I logged in again.
I started Growl, and set "start at login" on in Growl pref, and rebooted.
I logged in, and the same two Growl icons appear in the dock.

To be honest, Im not really sure where to go from here other than
suggesting you run without the dock icon option on. You can still
keep the icon and to get to preferences, it just wont show the glowy
blue light if you have that enabled. To do that, right click the
growl icon, click keep in dock under options, and then turn the show
icon in dock option off in Growl's preferences. If this still causes
two icons on login, I will be very confused. I haven't been able to
reproduce this, and Im not sure when Ill be able to find a fix for
this since I can't reproduce it.
