Major Grande Kudos to NeXT for issuing a bug fix between releases!
I feel 100% better about them now.  Make that 200%.

What's more, the fix works.  (I would have been impressed even if 
the fix didn't work, since eventually they'd have to issue a fix
that did.)

However (and the main reason for this post) is that I discovered
that the fix only applies to the user who launched the daemom, since
that daemon changes the defaults database for just that user.  Even
if the user is root.  So, you can put it in /usr/local/bin or maybe
/LocalApps, but you have to have every user run it once to set the
Workspace default.  Or maybe you could write something to go do the
dwrite's automatically.  Or maybe NeXT will make a more global fix.
(I sent this comment to Matt Watson.)

Thanks again to NeXT!
