Unable to set breakpoint

[J. Landman Gay]

Panos, it wasn't just the tools palette, there was no IDE at all. There 
were no menus except for the default OS X one that allowed me to quit. 
Nothing else loaded, so no message box, tools, keyboard shortcuts, etc. It 
acted like the startup aborted very early in the process. But the odd thing 
was that the start center did appear and when it tried to lead me through 
the tutorial it pointed to places on screen where the nonexistent menus 
would have been. I was able to open my own stack only by dropping it on the 
dock since there was no File menu to use. But without any menus, app or 
project browsers, or tools I couldn't actually do anything with it. The 
entire IDE was missing.

I do still have an old pre-7 prefs file in the same folder as the new one, 
since I need to open LC 6 occasionally. It may be that LC 9 couldn't read 
or update it so it just gave up.

I only have one monitor, and the startup didn't get far enough to load any 
plugins.
