file permission problems with running runrev on Mac OS X

Am I the only person who does most work on Mac OS X as a non-admin user?

(I'm sure I just didn't go back far enough in the archives to see an
answer for this.)

Logged in as the user that I installed runrev as, runrev runs.

Logged in as another user, runrev starts up and gives me the application
menu (second from left) and then just sits there. Now file menu, no edit
menu, no splash screen, no "do you agree to the license?" dialog,
nothing. I can quit from the application menu. There is no visible
response to any other item in the application menu.

I thought this had to do with not installing runrev in the applications
folder, or with not being the primary admin user when I installed it. So
I tried installing into the applications folder (/Applications/dev,
actually) as the primary admin. Same thing. Changing the owner and
permissions to match those in the pre-installed applications doesn't
seem to change anything.

Is this something I just have to live with? In other words, do I just
have to rip it out and re-install while logged in as the dev user?
