I spent quite a few hours attempting to get growlnotify working on
Leopard last night. It turns out that I didn't need any of the fixes
listed online: applescript replacements or growlnotify.wrapper(s)
using the --host param. In fact, the only result I got from any use
of --host was: 2/16/08 3:04:09 AM growlnotify[2687] Exception:
NSPortTimeoutException.
growlnotify began working fine after I selected a "default starting
position" that did not overlap a portion of the Dock. For example, if
my dock was on the bottom, I can NOT select the bottom left or bottom
right as a starting point for messages. If the dock is on the left, I
can not select top left or bottom left. And so on. When they do
overlap, console messages indicates:
2/16/08 3:05:43 AM GrowlHelperApp[2533] *** -[NSMachPort
handlePortMessage:]: dropping incoming DO message because the
connection or ports are invalid.
I hope this helps others.
