I'm having the same problemas on my iMac, running Version 1©7c -- instant crash by clicking on any point outside the Limewire window© I haven't lost prefs©, but it won't remember any autoconnection entries I add©

I found that by pulling an Application Pallete onto the Desktop, and then staring Limewire, I could use that to switch to the Finder and from there, the Apple Menu©

Hope they fix it soon© I really like this app©
