I've had the same experience. Although I don't really use it since I
was taught early on in my career to always know how to do everything
via the command line. As I recall, it seemed to better reflect the
running status after restarting the computer.

Greetings!
I have begun using the preferences pane that came in the
official binary [4.1.12] instead of always manually starting &
stopping the server. This is a nice improvement as Mac OS X client
edition doesn't come with this, and i've only recently seen it in
the package. However, it doesn't always display appropriate
information. There's a graphical symbol of a red square or a green
triangle over the picture of gear that i interpret to mean whether
the server is running or not, as it changes synchronously with the
right-side button "Start MySQL Server", "Stop MySQL Server". In
between the graphic and the button is some text: "The MySQL Server
Instance is _____", which in my case has always shown "running" in
green regardless of whether the others show the server as running
or stopped.
An irritating thing is that the pref pane doesn't seem to
follow the actual server status. If i manually shut the server
down the pref pane still shows it running, even when i quit &
restart preferences. Clicking on the stop button in this instance
of course shows an error [no server to talk to], but never picks up
the new status of server.
Is this something that other users are experiencing? I didn't
see a mention of this in a cursory search of the bugs database, but
i might not have entered it right... Or is it in a todo that i
didn't catch, or what?
