MB 4gb, 250gb, shipped w/ Leopard
Ran IceClean 3.0.7's "all tasks Reboot" under OSX Maintenance.
Have one external display(monitor) connected.
After reboot built-in display brightness had been changed/reset to a very low setting. External display's brightness did not appear "reset".
Anyone encounter this issue or have an explanation?
all tasks does all of the following:
do daily, weekly, and monthly periodic routine cron scripts
verify preferences .plist files
repair permission files
update prebindings
update & locate whatis databases
rebuild launch services
note: About 20 hours before I ran IceClean 3.0.7 I booted from an external hard drive and repaired permissions exactly the way apple.com recommends.

"Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard note: While started from the Leopard Install DVD, a user's home directory permissions can be reset using the "Reset Password" utility.
Should I start up from a Mac OS X install disc to repair disk permissions?
When possible, disk permissions should be repaired while started up from a Mac OS X volume (hard disk) that contains updated Mac OS X software, instead of a Mac OS X installation disc. Mac OS X software updates may change permissions on some files to improve security. When this occurs, the version of Disk Utility on the Mac OS X volume is updated to account for the new permissions. Running Disk Utility while started from the Mac OS X volume ensures that the changes made by software updates are preserved."
Incidentally, the time it takes my MB to get to the login/password screen from a reboot seems to be about 5 seconds faster. I timed it about 7 times BEFORE running IceClean BECAUSE I had just read a forum post about OSX boot times.
