It is, sort of: Applications appear, or re-appear, in the list the next time
they register themselves with Growl.
Some applications never show up with Growl 1.3 because they never talk to
Growl. In most cases, this is due to a long-fixed bug in the Growl framework,
with the application using an old version from before the fix; in some cases,
the application checks whether Growl is installed before registering, which was
never necessary and now fails because the installation check in all previous
versions of the framework looks for a prefpane.
You can use the Growl Version Detective to see what versions of the Growl
framework your apps are using:
http://growl.info/downloads
Any framework of version 1.2.1 or later will work. If an application with a
new-enough framework still doesn't work, it's probably using it conditionally
rather than unconditionally. Either way, whether the app is using an old
framework or is checking for a prefpane, you should report that to the app's
developers.
Some of the other threads here on the list contain known incompatible apps and
workarounds.
