Miro will run but no window on snow leopard
I have a mid 2008 macbook pro with snow leopard installed on it. I have quicktime 7 and quicktime X installed. Miro will launch, but nothing other than an icon in the dock ever appears. Then I have to force quit.
1) There is nothing outside of /Applications/Miro.app I would expect a .plist or .log someplace, but it simply doesn't exist.
2) The process does continue to run indefinitely with 3 threads open. It just doesn't do anything (no window displayed or anything).
3) Even doing sudo open /Applications/Miro.app in Terminal has the same result.
I suspect I am missing some crucial support, or Miro just doesn't work on Snow Leopard. The decidedly non-technical nature of their website doesn't really let me find theinfo that I need.
If I run it from Terminal, same behavior. No extra errors or anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction to what the problem may be?
Info:
Mac OS X Snow leopard (10.6.1)
Miro for OS X (2.5.3)
Quicktime 7 (7.6.3 (630))
Quicktime X (10.0 (51))
python (2.6.1)

Inappropriate?~/Library/Application Support/Miro contains your log files. Please file a bug report at http://bugzilla.pculture.org and include that file.
The .plist is in the usual location, just look for org.participatoryculture... -
Inappropriate?Jed,
That would seem not to be the case:
macbook-pro:~ dankney$ open /Applications/Miro.app; ls -alFh '~/Library/Application Support/Miro';
ls: ~/Library/Application Support/Miro: No such file or directory
macbook-pro:~ dankney$
macbook-pro:~ dankney$ find ./ | grep -i org.participatoryculture
macbook-pro:~ dankney$ pwd
/Users/dankney
macbook-pro:~ dankney$
I don't believe it is getting far enough in the opening process to create these files. 2.5.2 had this same behavior, btw.

Inappropriate?Further information
I have a mac mini at work with snow leopard. I made sure quicktime 7 was on there, and installed miro. It exhibits exactly the same behavior. I ran the above terminal commands with the same result.
It should be noted that both of these are scratch installs of snow leopard, not upgrades from leopard.
I’m still sad
