Hi folks:
I tried to make some symmetry objects of my molecule using the
instructions in the manual. MacPymol (0.94b) choked on this, crashing
the whole system. (OS X doesn't often crash, but when it does, it
ain't pretty). When I rebooted I was unable to log into my account.
Fortunately I got in through a root account I had enabled. The key to
fixing this problem is to delete the following file:
rm ~/LibraryPreferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist (note the dot
before G)
This seems to have no effect other than to make the display after
logging in take a bit longer to compose itself, so there is no harm
trying this if you run into the problem of being unable to log in after
such a crash.
HTH someone.
