As we'd discussed before, this is a bug in the applet shell combined with a bug
in the default active proc. It's not the script's fault, and I don't believe
it's possible to work around it in the script. I hope to have both bugs fixed
in 1.5.6, which should be released at about the same time as Mac OS X.
