I thought there would be an issue with prefpane caching, but I just verified that it works. @lintmachine Brilliant!

Instead of installing the preference pane with each build, I created a symbolic link from my ~/Library/PreferencePanes/ directory to the build location of my preference pane. That way I can make edits and then just "Build and Debug", skipping the install step. Thanks for sharing this!

I haven't tried adding a lock to a preference pane yet, but I'll put it on my todo list and post when I've got some working code. Until then, check out Apple's documentation on SFAuthorizationView: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Reference/SecurityInterfaceFramework/Classes/SFAuthorizationView_Class/Reference/Reference.html. Thanks for the suggestion! That’s a good idea. I haven’t tried adding a lock to a preference pane yet, but I’ll put it on my todo list and post when I’ve got some working code.

I'm just beginning to play with Cocoa and system prefs. Any chance you have a tutorial how to put the auth lock on the pane so you can change some stuff as root? =) This is nice.
