Use Gmail Notifier for multiple Gmaila accounts
Authored by: Jacob G on Nov 24, '10 04:55:27PM

The short answer is you need to redo the code signing of the app if you are going to change the bundle identifier and then want the app to have access to the Keychain. Mac only allows an application to access Keychain if the app is signed with the specified bundle identifier. If you just change the bundle identifier without re-signing the app, your Mac won't trust it. It looks like before OS X 10.5, it did not require code signing so older comments on this post omit that issue.

I won't laboriously write out every detail, but basically if you follow the directions on the following page to create a self-signed certificate and overwrite Google's code signature of the Google Notifier app specifying the second bundle identifier, you'll be able to add the app to Keychain access on your second Gmail account:
