Leopard 10.5.2 Installed. Nothing Blew Up.
In case you haven't read yet, today Apple released Leopard 10.5.2. The update weighed in at 180mb on my Intel MacBook Pro. I spurned common sense and didn't bother with the combo updater and instead just did the automatic update. I've been running it a few hours now with no problems. Apple has a long list of updates. A few of them are of note to me and deserve comment.
Back to my Mac - Adds support for more third-party routers.
I am very curious to see how much this sorts out Back to My Mac. I've never quite got it working and not had time to figure it out. Actually, I keep waiting for the Macbreak Tech guys to set me straight on it.
Dock - Updates Stacks with a List view option, a Folder view option, and an updated background for Grid view.
Amen! I actually have gotten used to the new system but I know this was driving a lot of people crazy.
Desktop - Addresses legibility issues with the menu bar with an option to turn off transparency in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.
This is another one that wasn't bothering me so much. Nevertheless, it is definitely less transparent now.
Mail - Mail now automatically disables the (unsupported) third-party plugin GrowlMail version 1.1.2 or earlier to avoid issues.
Mail has been a little wonky for me lately. I suspected Growl and turned it off but it still hasn't been as stable as before. I'm hoping 10.5.2 fixes that. So far so good.

Did you re-run Software Update after the 10.5.2 update? There's a "Leopard Graphics Update" available which needs 10.5.2 to be installed first. HTH
Max,
I did that after I posted. Thanks for the comment!

I haven't been able to sync iGTD with iCAL since the update. Anyone else having that issue?
