[PyMOL] os x crash bug

[<wg...@ch...>]

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.

Bill
