Firewall message for 1.3.1 - Annoying request to allow/deny connections

[FredF]

I’m using Growl 1.3.1 running OSX 10.7.2.

The Growl application is listed in the Firewall pane (under Security)
as one of the apps “automatically allowed to receive incoming
connections”.
But every time I start my computer, a screen appears asking me: "Do
you want the application “Growl.app” to accept incoming
network connections?
Clicking Deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can
be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."

I do not ask to get notification from the network under preferences
and I am running this only instance of Growl (no prior versions, which
were uninstalled with the growls uninstaller script, no growl safari,
etc. etc). I can either click on the Allow or Deny, and Growl
functions perfectly.

Until I have to restart my computer or growl, when the screen pops-up
again. I even lunched Growl with the firewall advanced window open,
growl was listed there and still the screen showed up again asking me
if I want to allow or deny..

I also uninstalled and re-installed (even cleaning the growl folders
in Library), with no changes in this annoying behavior.

Help and suggestions will be much appreciated!!

I have the exact same problem on my Macbook Pro. 10.7.2

Growl 1.3.2

What could be done about it?

You need to resign application. See instructions:

I don't think that this will solve the problem long term (or even in an acceptable manner really). Once an update comes out, this resigning will go away and you'd have to redo it. I wouldn't do it.

I've been researching the issue, and as of yet don't have an answer. However, I also cannot reproduce the issue, so that of course makes this a lot tougher. Can someone explain exactly what options are enabled and disabled in the firewall settings?
