Hi
I guess some of what we are probably experiencing is outlined below. Software is installed in one account and causes problems in another. When you attempt to fire up software it is hardly instantaneous and the software can crash as a result of permission problems. The user just sees the spinning thingy. Repairing the permissions seems to allow the 3rd party software to function on a multi account computer.
People who do not run multi accounts probably would not experience this phenomenon.
Best
Matthew
Issues Related to Permissions
Incorrect permission settings may cause unexpected behavior. Here are several examples with troubleshooting suggestions: Application installers, Applications folder
A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on
the files it installs, or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms
of the Application folder's permissions being set incorrectly include
applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or not being
able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software
installed while logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged
in as another. To avoid this, make sure you are logged in with your
normal user account when installing software that you wish to use with
that account.
