Could you detail this issue?

I re-enabled Growl (the Obj-C module, not growl-udp) some time during 1.1.x and it's being used by quite a bunch of Mac users according to the number of mails received ("thanks for growl! So cool!" bla), so I don't really want this module removed. Hence, the question above.


Best regards,

Felix
