PackageMaker & Leopard: Little bug that can be problematic to first time users

There are 2 little bugs the first time you open PackageMaker on Leopard:

- the default position of the window is incorrect: it should appear at the top left corner (as it looks like to be a document window) but instead appears at the bottom of the screen on a 30" display.

- the first alert dialog can make users believe the program is not compatible with 10.5 or 10.3 formats.

The first time the alert dialog appears, you are required/requested to enter the reverse domain name for your organization/company and then you can select the compatibility format for your package.

By default the text field is empty and the comp. format is set to 10.4.

After you've entered a correct reverse domain name such as com.mentcava, if you change the compatibility format to 10.5 or 10.3, the OK button gets disabled.

A workaround to enable it anew is to add a space to the domain name and then remove the space.

This problem does not appear the next time you open PackageMaker.

A bug report will be filed as soon as Bug Reporter stops being unusable.
