Just thought I'd post the results of my email to the Xgrid team -- in case anyone else is looking for an answer to the PreferencePane error.
We are aware of this problem, and investigating the root cause. In the meantime, the following workaround should suffice. From the Terminal, type:Please let the Xgrid team know if that fails to address the issue...
% sudo cp -p /Library/PreferencePanes/Xgrid.prefPane/Contents/ MacOS/writeconfig-xgrid-template /Library/Application Support/ Xgrid/writeconfig-xgrid % sudo chmod a-w /Library/Application Support/Xgrid/writeconfig-xgrid % sudo chmod u+s /Library/Application Support/Xgrid/writeconfig-xgrid
