DesktopManager and Tiger: not a good match

I was enjoying DesktopManager in Panther but it didn’t compile in Tiger until today: I built it and used it for a bit until I saw these messages in the Console:

May 24 13:37:20 white /Applications/DarwinPorts/Desktop Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/Desktop Manager: The function CGSGetElementForCStringKey is obsolete and will be removed in a Tiger update. Unfortunately, this app, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance.

My system doesn’t need any degrading, so out it came. Shame: it’s a handy thing to have. Perhaps it will be revised.
