OK - the set-up:
I have had to set-up a user under restricted Finder (for his own "protection"). Recently, Sherlock has started acting up in a most confusing way.
When loading Sherlock, all of the channels are labelled "CHANNEL_NAME". Clicking on any of them results in a blank Sherlock window, no access to the content. The preferences window is also blank.
Using an admin-level user, Sherlock loads fine. Creating a new user (albeit at the admin level), Sherlock works fine.
When rebuilding Sherlock's set of channels (getting rid of com.apple.Sherlock.plist, and the two Cache folders in the Library folder), Sherlock is OK on the two admin accounts, but results in the same problem on the limited account.
Changing the limited account to an Admin account has no effect.
Now, of course, the simple solution would be to create a new user, and move all his stuff over, but that would be super-annoying changing all the privileges...
Anyone ever seen this one before? Apple's KBase comes up blank on this one.
