I've got the problem that growlhelperapp freezes after the wakeup from sleep mode in most cases... don't know what to do... I have had the problem with growl 1.1.2 on 10.5.2 and still have the problem with v1.1.4 on 10.5.4, on a macbook (late07) earlier and now on the actual Macbok Pro. I transferred all Settings, User Data etc with the migration assistant from the MB to the MBP so I don't wonder that the problem still exists...
I uninstalled v1.1.4 and reinstalled it without any change...
Is this a known Bug with the freeze after the wakeup from sleep mode? Any ideas what I could try to fix this ?
