Login Problem

Comrades,

I recently changed my localization to Portuguese and installed USB Overdrive X.

I tried restarting and I get all the way to my desktop background and the menu bar appears, but begins to start flashing, like the finder is quitting and reopening and I have to force a logout.

Other users still start just fine. I tried deleting all my startup items for that loser and removing preference panes, including USB overdrive and some other stuff, but I still get this in console:

I had dock hiding turned on, and when I logged in didn't notice that the problem was solely with the finder and the dock still worked.

In a random stab at the problem I deleted my dock preferences and logged back in. lo-and-behold my dock was showing even though the menu bar was flashing.

I opened system preferences from the dock, opened international, returned to English localization and the problem was solved.

Now my question is: How can I use Portuguese localization without finder flipping out?
