That occurred to me too, but I forgot about it. I think we need a  
combined attack: Test for the disk image nature, *and* for the hidden  
file.

A clarification regarding looking for the hidden file: We should look  
for it from the base of the volume, not from Adium's container. This  
way, if Adium is put onto a disk image (in a folder, e.g. by option- 
copying our volume to their volume) and then run, it will not think  
that it is running from its own disk image, since our hidden file is  
in our folder, rather than their volume's top level.

Clarification of the clarification:

	/Volumes/Adium\ 1.0.2
		↓copy↓
	/Volumes/Mamma\ Mia\ That's\ a\ Lotta\ Software/Adium\ 1.0.2

	Hidden file exists at:
		/Volumes/Mamma\ Mia\ That's\ a\ Lotta\ Software/Adium\  
1.0.2/.background/adiumDmgBackground.png
	We look for:
		/Volumes/Mamma\ Mia\ That's\ a\ Lotta\ Software/.background/ 
adiumDmgBackground.png
	Not found—not our disk image!
