#2 - There seems to be a connection between what my App does and
whether or
not my System Preferences panels appear authorized or deauthorized.
If I
deauthorize in my app, pref panels like Startup Disk appear
deauthorized. I
don't want this connection and I don't know why there is a connection.
I'm just trying to use SFAuthorizationView so the appearance is
consistent
with the OS. I'm not looking for the OS to actually provide real
rights to
my user, like an installer or other processes might need to support.
Perhaps under Panther you should add your application's rights to the
policy database... maybe if they're not there, you're being authorised
under one of the generic domains (e.g. com.admin.*, or whatever), which
is why it's affecting System Preferences, and possibly why you're not
getting the rights immediately sometimes when requesting them.
If I'm correct, I wonder how you would handle this under Jaguar, where
you can't edit the policy database (if it even existed then). I guess
you can't... I certainly never had any luck with custom rights on
Jaguar; I saw similar behaviour to what you're describing, with regards
to effecting other apps.
