Yeah I am taking the chance for giggles since I have a fresh installed Dell Mini so it will just mean reinstalling SL again and staying put at 10.6.1. LOL

Hopefully that's tied to the actual signal handling and not just the GUI - it would be nice to know if something external to me manually force quitting an app attempts to do it. It would be an indication that something's being naughty as opposed to an app just crashing.
This is probably just something weird on my end, but after the update, nothing in the upper-right portion of my menubar is displaying, with the exception of dropbox. Meaning my clock, the fast user switch icon, spotlight icon, none of those are showing up. I ran a permissions verify/repair, still the same issue. Additionally, when I go to the Date/Time System Pref, the option to show the clock is unchecked, and when I try to check it, it shows up for a blink, then goes right back to unchecked.... tried creating a new admin user and even a standard user, but it's still not showing up.
My next thought is to try a permission check when booting off the dvd once I get home from work, but does anyone else have any suggestions before that?
btw, I don't do any modifications like resource themes or dock themes.... everything is standard.

Any 3rd status items (menu items in the upper right corner) that you had installed before the update? If so try removing them to see which may be at fault.
Same on my Early 08 Macbook Pro. I hope the 4 finger swipe thing is fixing the bug where sometimes expose would get confused and show all windows instead of showing the desktop.
I've actually disabled everything, including iTunesHelper from starting up.
Also, forgot to mention, I'm on the 2.26GHz 13" MBP... thought that may help
can anyone findout about macbookpro 6,1 & 6,2
Now that 10.6.2 is out, can anyone find info about MacBookPro 6,1 and 6,2?

Well I'll be, this update brought back disclosure triangles / twirlies in Lotus Notes for me, as well as all the invisible buttons, but now with super nifty magenta boxes around them.
It's nothing special, I just never expected to see a fix for that. I had gotten used to just clicking where it seemed like I should be clicking...

Like a brand new machine. New logic board, new trackpad, new right speaker and a new OS version all in one day!
Installed, and I'm happy the four-finger swipe is fixed!
And dragging images from Safari to Apps on the dock has also been fixed!
However, switching between spaces with the arrow key shortcuts is still a bit choppy, nothing serious, but under Leopard it was SO MUCH smoother, it felt GOOD to switch Spaces. Under SL it feels more sluggish, and this update didn't seem to have fixed that!
Also, has anyone noticed that scrolling in stacks is pretty damn slow in SL? And this too hasn't been fixed either!
Overall, Leopard seemed so much smoother compared to SL, I'm just talking about the interface, animations and all.

If they're not using the QuickTime decoder, the 3rd party needs to fix their software.
Apple made H.264 hardware decoding available to devs as part of QuickTime X. If a dev isn't using QuickTime X, then it's their own fault and they need to write the code to talk to the GPU on their own.
It's not your machine, it is whether you are updating from 10.6.0 or 10.6.1.
The Delta update (10.6.1 - 10.6.2) is smaller.
That is a partial list. Only ADC would have the full list.
Don't worry, 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 haven't been cancelled. 10.6.2 was just the first batch of worst bugs reported by customers (aka Secret Beta Test Team members. Motto: "So Secret, Even They Don't Know!")baryon said:
Safari Plugin reliability, like Flash? Flash has been crashing Safari for me every day. It grinds to a halt, I get the beachball, and it either crashes or I have to force quit.
How about an update that makes Quicktime X not suck, also? Any time I open a MIDI file, it launches QTX, then gives me an error that I need to use QT7 instead because X doesn't support it (and yes, I've tried making QT7 my default app for midi). Quicktime X is probably the worst part of Snow Leopard, and it really upsets me that Apple would put out such a half-assed piece of software.

It's still there. And I find it highly unlikely that they would be dropping that. All current first-gen Macbook users' Snow Leopard installations would stop functioning ?!
157MB for early 2008 MBP.
Can't believe they didn't fix the stack sorting. Snow Leopard broke nested sorting of folders in the dock, something that had been working perfectly since 10.0 release if not before that. And it's not as if the bug hasn't been widely discussed ><. I'm guessing now the fix will be a feature of 10.7. What a shame.

I'm unsure if I want to invest my time trying to get Snow Leopard working again. The only solution around here seems to be start completely from scratch without my files.
Now this is a change. Can you show me the developer note on this?
