Widget claims no Growl installed with Growl 1.3.3 -- Growl support is broken currently...

Since upgrading to Growl 1.3 via the Mac App Store, this widget no longer recognizes Growl as being installed (presumably since the Growl Helper App no longer exists). Are there any plans to get this widget updated to work with the new Growl?

This is awesome! I just donated to the developer to show how much I appreciate the hard work put into this. I have to ask if it was also possible to accept calls using this widget? Just wondering. thanks. zorbee

perfect! you nailed it. only thing i'd like is the same thing that person above mentioned - empty the comment field upon submit - OR - a little "clear info" button that just empties phone and text if desired (i often text myself, so leaving phone in place is perfect for me) fast, simple, uncluttered, works like a charm...
