Hmmm...  Gee--you're right.  Grab is somewhat defective.  I now remember  
sending in a bug report to that effect during the 3.0 Beta-test program, but  
forgot about it in my previous posting.  But actually, back then Grab would  
work from the Services menu, BUT you had to launch it manually before it would  
register.  But now under the final release of 3.0 it seems that Grab won't  
register itself no matter what!  What an improvement.  Sorry for my  
misinformative posting!
