[MacTUG] Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature | MacFixIt <- How about this one Don?

[Marlon A. Griffith]

Hey Don,

This article, http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/whats_best_about_lion/, mentions that the logout option is part of resume. Is there an option in the system prefs for resume that may set this? Another possibility could be the Lion version of tinkertool, or another such hidden prefs app. I have found tinkertool useful since panther.

Good luck,
Marlon
