Hello Paul, Programs typically register with Growl after they have launched. This means that in order to re-register them, you must close and reopen them for the files that send the registrations to act on it. Most of the time applications are smart enough to figure this out, but it's not always the case that it works. Growl usually shows all registered applications in the Applications tab in Growl preferences, but since 1.3, these are no longer reachable with VoiceOver. This is in part because Growl is no longer allowed to use status bar icons to implement preferences, and because you cannot reach these third-party status bar icons using the mouse under 10.7. I'm still not sure how high of a priority making the actual API available to VoiceOver is for Apple, but it seems like it should be pretty important given that more and more applications are making use of them. The mouse used to be a workaround, but we shouldn't have to use workarounds to do something you can do perfectly well usin g Voiceover commands with Apple's own icons.
I don't think there is a paid version of Growl 1.3 you can get off of their site, but if there is now, that one probably still retains the System Preferences pane. When setting up Growl 1.3 for the first time, it asks if you wish to configure the settings. That does open the settings for Growl, but that's probably the only time you get to play with them. I'll admit that the inability to configure the settings caused me to remove it, but I should have figured the preference pane would have been removed due to App Store guidelines. If anyone's found a sneaky way around this enforced limitation, let me know.
