Hello Yvan.
Luthers script worked fine here too. And Nigels was the easiest one.
It is just as you said ... restarting... Can't have that!
A lot of stuff has happened in Snow Leopard, the display server data was updated without you
having to boot. -Maybe they follow up the good work, with some way to "kick" apps to reload preferences in Lion.
I'm really looking forward to Lion and it is not that Snow Leopard has been bad in any way.

If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review
