Good news, and an interesting result. It turns out you have 2 processes claiming to be Dock running. One is pid 324 and the other (correct one) is pid 4890. This must be normal for your system (across many reboots etc), but it is still something I’ve never seen before. I will leave the code in that discards the first pid, but I would be interested if you see 2 dock processes in Activity Monitor. (Use the search box and type dock there)
Offsets for + and - sounds like some kind of bug, could you explain what you are seeing?
I have no idea what algorithm OS X uses to order its menu bar icons, but it seems usually most recently launched on the left. Anyway, on my menu bar TS2 is most often at the left.
The uninstaller doesn’t delete your prefs in ~/Library/Preferences/com.binaryage.TotalSpaces2.plist. To be super-clean you can do this, but in most cases it’s more convenient to leave it be.
The overview grid speed is heavily dependent on the number of windows you have open, just due to the sheer amount of work to be done by the window manager. So it may slow a little later.
Thanks for being so persistent in helping me understand this problem!
No, I am seeing the 4x2, but I am talking about the + and - buttons in the grid layout. They just are off. Not a big deal, but that is what I thought was a clue that something was wrong when I first had the problems. Not sure if it has always been that way, just thought I would let you all know.
