Anybody who wants to make an uninstaller based on the output from 'lsbom' should bear in mind that the output also includes existing directories traversed by the installer during installation. Without care, you could "uninstall" a hell of a lot more than you bargained for!

With reference to hayne's comments about corrupt plists, this hint (and associated) makes good reading: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.p...40623070038472

Preferential Treatment works OK, but lacks a link to a backup so that you can replace a corrupt plist with a backed up version - great for when Mail.app's plist goes PHOOM! and takes all your account info with it. :eek:
