Because they're installing Growl to the disk image volume, not the
boot volume.

What are they supposed to do about it? Not run postflight scripts? I
think that that would break a lot more installers than it would work
around.
The correct solution is for our postflight script to only run System
Preferences if Installer put Growl in a place where System Preferences
will load it right now—i.e., {,$HOME,/Network}/Library/PreferencePanes.

That's because not very many people install Growl anywhere other than /
Library or ~/Library.

Because it's our postflight script that opens System Preferences in
situations where it shouldn't.

Agreed. Not that I'd accept the patch anyway, as the fix is wrong (the
home directory is not necessarily on /). The correct solution is to
compare $2, not $3.

It doesn't matter (yet), as I don't think any of us have changed
anything in that directory in any of our repositories.
In particular, the stable repository (http://growl.info/hg/growl) has
changed very little (as is proper for a stable repository).
