I am probably the only person in the world to have tried to run The Grouch
and Pyro 4 at the same time, so I think I'll add my two cents.  The Grouch 
changes the Empty Trash item into About the Grouch... unless you have Pyro 
installed.  Pyro overwrote the standard menu with a clean menu, no Grouch 
item at all, but a nice little Sleep.  When I removed Pyro, The Grouch was
back.  I don't know the mechanism, but I strongly suspect that they either
overwrite the system's image of the special menu, or that they simply intercept
clicks on the special menu's area of the menu bar.  Anyone from Fifth 
Generation on the Net?
	BTW, I have never run either on a portable, but it would be a good
experiment.  Portable owners?
