Keywords: multifinder desk accessories

I've been playing with multifinder for a few days now, and it's
very nice. But the way it handles desk accessories is the pits.

All desk accessories that look at keystroke events to alter
what the underlying program actually gets are *BROKEN* under
multifinder. This means that DAs such as SmartQuotes (which
puts proper curly quotes into text--useful with Word) and
MacLightning (real-time spell-checker) don't work any more.

Apple, I know you hope DAs will go away given enough time, but
this is the wrong way to do things. PLEASE give us back our
desk accessories the way they used to be.

Thank you for listening.
