I'm working on a system prefs pref pane for my application. I'd like to
have it read the user's preferences for that application, but I can't
find out where it says what user the System Preferences application runs
as, and how to control that, or whether that's possible.

Over in the Mac-Python world, we're wondering whether
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Resources/Python.app might
benefit from having LSBackgroundOnly or LSUIElement set in its
Info.plist. It seems to me that both of these settings allow access to
the window system and other frameworks,

I'm writing a little uninstaller app in Cocoa-Python, and I need to put
up that ubiquitous OS X prompt for the admin password, then elevate the
privileges of the script to remove some directories installed as root.
Is that a standard widget? If so, what is it? If not, what's the

Hi. I'm trying to write a simple Cocoa program to enumerate the
windows on the screen, across all the apps. I can see how to use
NSWorkspace.launchedApplications() to enumerate the apps, but I don't
see how to go from those dictionaries to an instance of NSApplication,
so that I can enumerate the

Is there an Objective-C interface to Spaces? I've got a NSStatusItem

I'm writing an installer that adds an application to the login items,
but my script (see below) keeps failing, with a bus error, like this:

I'd like to build a custom view that is just an assemblage of an
NSTextView, a couple of pushbuttons, and a checkbox. It seems to me
that there should be some way to do this with IB, but I haven't figured
it out yet. All the examples on the net seem to focus on overriding
drawRect, which I *don't

I'd like to be able to invoke the QuickLook server from my application
to obtain PDF or RTF preview versions of MS-Office Documents before
opening them. The capability exists; you can see it in Finder, for
instance. But I can't see how to invoke it from a client. The only
useful call I can make

What's the right way to have another process stop an application?
Sending a SIGTERM doesn't seem to invoke the application shutdown dance;
and signal handlers don't seem to establish themselves.

Thanks, that "unix id is xxx" was what I was looking for.

I'm losing focus, momentarily, over and over again, and I'd like to
figure out whether there's anything I can do about it.
I'm running a number of apps against the window server, like Cocoa
Emacs and Camino. I run a background process that watches (via
Applescript calls to System Events) what's g
