Bouncing finder in dock in 10.4.2 driving me nuts

I love Growl for the notifications for Pagesender since I fax tons of Purchase orders a day, but the finder bounces its icon in the dock every time growl puts up a notification. It didn't do this in Panther. Is there anyway to stop the finder icon from doing jumping jacks in the dock for every growl notification that pops up?

That's not something Growl is doing, but just to be sure, redownload Growl from our website at
http://growl.info and reinstall it. Log out and back in, or reboot after doing this.

Already done all that. Re-installed, then installed newest .7.2 release, many restarts, many log outs. All still the same. The notification pops up and the finder icon starts bouncing.

Try removing Growl, and leaving PageSender installed.

Nope. That didn't work either. Very very odd. Uninstalled growl and reinstalled, but the finder icon still bounces everytime there is a notification.

Possible workaround: use
Dock Detox (unsanity.com)
"Dock Detox is a haxie that will remove application icon bouncing in the Dock. Normally in Mac OS X, you can turn off the application launch bounces, but not when a particular application is requesting your attention. Dock Detox alleviates the Dock from this excessive bouncing"

What I was asking is for you to completely remove Growl, restart the machine, and see if it still happens. If it does not, try to reinstall Growl. If it does, it could be pagesender.

Tracking down things in Pagesender provided the answer. For some reason the "Run Applescript" button was selected in Pagesender for sending faxes, so it was trying to run applescripts that weren't there after every send. It was pagesender's fault.
Thanks!
