I followed your great instructions and replaced the ruby growl.rb with the official framework for Gmail Notifr. Thanks. Cool.

FYI - I implemented a very low tech way of getting a ruby program to put out growl notifications by using the command line tool 'growlnotify' and have a small writeup here: http://novemberkilo.com/2010/05/Flickr-notifier/ Of course this requires that the user has Growl's command line tools installed - on the other hand, following what you have described here and integrating an app with the Growl framework makes all this config stuff go away (resulting in a much more usable app). Time I did this myself! Thanks for this!
