Arla Configuration w/ 0.35.6 for Mac OS X 10.1

[Greg Welch]

Magnus.

Thanks for the ptr to the test version. I still see the trampoline 
dialog the first time I use it it seems (when the client is not yet 
running?) but then after I start the client, quit the gui, and then 
re-start the gui, I do not seem to get the trampoline dialog.

Also, the gui state still appears to be broken to me. (You are probably 
aware.) It appears to say/think the client is off, even after I have 
started it w/ the "Start" button and it clearly is running (I can 
see/write my afs space). If I try and click "Start" again I get a 
"cannot start arla" message, which makes sense to me because it is 
already running. But I can't stop the client from the gui. (I can I 
suppose by killing arlad and....)

Thanks for your help on this and all arla efforts.
