Whats wrong with this picture, and why is it doing this? Where is my login items? What do I delete to make it work again?
(hint, count the number of times 'accounts' shows up)

Thanks! I've been missing my "Accounts" preference pane and couldn't figure out HOW to get it back. Your tip fixed the problem.

Any chance someone can tell me how to delete an item from the system preferences pane?
I installed gpg, but then deleted it... however, it added a control panel in the system preference pane.
Cheers,
Marc
[edit]Don't worry, just ran a search of the forum and foun the answer!

My hunch would be yes. I've never run into a problem like that when a theme wasn't used. Ah, the price one pays to make the mac feel more like home.

I see absolutely no way these could be related.

That's why I said it was a hunch. But in my experience, I've only had to suggest that people do this when they use themes. Anectdotal evidence but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
