Software Incompatibilities - Please Help!

Hello again -
In my spare time I develop a program called XBar -
http://macosx.syr.edu/spottedsoftware (Insert shameless plug here). Up
until version 1.2 I had absolutely no problems with users
running/installing this program. However, with my most recent release,
version 1.2, I have received a number of emails from users stating that
they can not run my program.
Initially, I chalked it up to the botched 10.2.8 update. However,
the new update has come out, I have since installed the update, moved
to the gcc-3.3 compiler, but am still receiving problems in regards to
running the application. Even from people running 10.2.7. According
to the emails I have received, users state that clicking on my
application yields nothing. No application launch whatsever.
The only thing I can possibly think of that would cause problems is
the CGSReadObjectFromCString & CGSSetGStateAttribute used to draw drop
shadows on a transparent child window. These changes were added in the
1.2 release. Could this possibly be causing the problem?
Also, I obviously have no problems running this app on my computer,
neither do my friends who have Macs. They all have the developer
applications installed on their computers. I wonder if that makes a
difference at all.
Anyhow, anyone who could provide any insight in this problem would
be greatly appreciated! Its really bugging me that folks are having
problems with the software I am creating. Any how, thanks so much in
advance for any help!

--Pete
