| My system was a horror story after this update - and I did the combo this time, just to be on the safe side. I ended up having to reinstall, because of errors in Application Support and WebKit frameworks. A clean re-install fixed my problems, though.

| Hmm... Rare. You didn't happen to save a log file of the installation, I guess?

| I ditched it after the reinstall, but I think I tracked down the cause of the problem. I had installed Aperture when it first came out, just to test it. It updated the ApplicationSupport framework. I removed Aperture by just deleting it. The 10.4.8 update also updated this framework, however it was counting on files to be there that were not found. I assume Apple tested this out and it worked fine if you either have Aperture, or never had Aperture. If, like me, you had only trialled a copy before deleting the application file, then the update would not have detected the application, the Application Support files would be incorrect, and before you know it you've got real trouble.

| The update has brought some problems for Matlab users. It seems the update borked some X11 files, as Matlab fails to run now, and exits with a segmentation fault. The only solution is to run it with the -nodisplay option, removing the ability to plot graphs  .I really really should have chosen something else instead of Matlab for writing the majority of my PhD work in. Its been so much trouble on OS X.... |

| On the plus side, it looks like raw files on my Pentax *ist DL are now supported natively, so I am well chuffed. Thanks, Apple.

| I just noticed that Apple has finally fixed the terrible performance of animated gifs the first time through the animation. This problem used to affect any program that displayed animated gifs using WebKit or NSImageView. Now gifs run at full speed immediately. Now if only they'd fix that PNG color bug that's been around since 10.0....
