About TypeIt4Me asking you to restart after installing:
This is necessary. Don’t criticize the product or author for this. It’s necessary to at minimum log out and in again after updating an input method, but safest by far to restart.
See Apple’s Technical Q&A about this:
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1054.html
Read the first section “Installing your input method for the first time” and the last “Writing an installer” and the note associated with Step 3 “Restart the computer.”.
This is the way it is, no getting around it. It’s no different when installing Spell Catcher’s input method component for the first time (or any other, for that matter). If you’re upgrading it, you can get away with a log out and in again almost all of the time, barring any corruption or invalid information in the com.apple.HIToolbox plist file in your home Library/Preferences/ByHost directory.
