[SOLVED] Re: Panther broke CFUserNotificationDisplayNotice?

I finally found the reason for the problem.

The Localizable.strings file was set to rw-rw---- root admin

It looks like that due to the Fast User Switching mechanism, in Panther, CFUserNotifications are displayed by the SystemUIServer process launched with the current login users id/gid. So the process was not able to read the Localizable.strings file and used the Key instead.

Since it is able to read it on 10.1, 10.2 and there is no release notes for this, I still find fair to state this as a forward compatibility issue.

The fix is easy, change the file permissions.

The current issue I see is that previously you could prevent a standard user from reading the content of the file, now you have to allow it to.

While investigating this issue, I saw that a 10.0 bug was reintroduced in Panther, when you display a CFUserNotification quickly after the user logins and his/her keyboard is set to a French mapping, if the alert is displayed, the keyboard is switched to a US/English Keyboard.
