I'm pretty new to Apple and OS X, but have been a Unix user for 20 years. I logged in this AM and saw a message telling me there was an update, so I said sure ... why not. I ended up with 10.5.3. Here is what I experienced ...
1) After the reboot stuff was slow. I thought things weren't loading at all, but the system was just slow. That disappeared in a couple of minutes.
2) I had my system configured not to adjust screen brightness based on ambient light. After the upgrade, that attribute had been reset ... a nit.
3) In addition to my touchpad, I use a bluetooth mouse. The mouse worked fine, the touchpad worked fine, the button on the touchpad didn't work. Rebooting is something I just don't usually do on my servers, but I said to hell with it and rebooted.
4) Now the mouse works, the touchpad works, and the touchpad button works ... for a few minutes, then the mouse quits working. Batteries are good and lights are on, but no go. Hmmm. Try to open the Bluetooth utility and it hangs with that stupid rainbow colored spinning wheel. Option-Command-Esc and Force Quit Bluetooth ... now the System Preferences window is hung. Option-Command-Esc does nothing. Hit the power button for a hard reset.
5) Power up. Now the mouse works, the touchpad works, and the touchpad button works ... and it all keeps working. Until I get home from work. I load up my VPN client to login and the VPN client says there is no available internet connection. I have Safari open and am receiving email while I read the error message. I reinstall the Cicso VPN client and it connects with no problem.
I had no real issues with 10.5.2. I hope today was not a harbinger of things to come.
