To start with I had a lot of trouble installing Mysource Matrix (I'm using OS X) especially when it came to not knowing ahead of time that you can't use "localhost" as a url. Now my system is up and running fine, but somehow a new design that I installed is using localhost as the domain in the references to the images. When I go into the main.inc file and the System Configuration screen it properly displays the url as "matrix.box"
How can I fix this without having to reinstall everything again (which I've already done about 4 times now.)
Thank you.

Did you check the URLS of your Designs folder to make sure that local host is no there, and that the correct URL is?
After looking into the DB i found that the table sq_ast_lookup had a lot of entries with localhost in them. So I changed them then found out that everything broke, cause I used phpPgAdmin to alter the matrix_secondary user which truncated the name to matrix_secondar (without the y) it wouldn't let me mod the user or drop the user until I dropped the db. So I had to recreate everything from scratch.
I think that my fundamental problems so far have resulted from the install files letting me enter no url or unqualified domains in the url in the main.inc file. I think the install files should be modified to handle error reporting in this case.
I was using the one of the sample designs.
The Designs, Media and Users folder get the System Root URL applied as specified in your main.inc file when you install the system. You should right-click each of these and check the URLs screen to ensure that they have the most appropriate URL.
Also, you should never change the database without using the Administration Interface.
