I've not used the blackdown 1.4.1 yet, but I have used the sun
1.4.1. I seem to recall a similar problem with it at first - running
the app (or any app) once as root created the required system prefs
and from then on it was quite happy to run apps as a normal user
(without making the system prefs world writable).
