Lately I've been experiencing the most strange behaviour in Jaguar.

Symptoms:

1) Computer takes longer than usual to start. A 350 iMac beat the G4 to startup.

2) Login is eternal. The Logging In window stays there forever and no aparent disk activity is going on. It just sits there for a while and finally two alert beeps sound and then the Finder appears as ussual.

3) Once logged in, behaviour is aparently normal, however sometimes the Finder, along with every running application in record time (I mean 7 or 8 apps. quit in 1 second) and I'm thrown to the Login Window.

Facts:

1) I installed 10.2.3 and weird **** started happening.

2) The crash log (can anyone interpret it ?)

This throws no warnings, no alerts, no KP's, it just 'Kills' everything ?

Anyone ?

So, what, if any, disk utilities have you run? Disk First Aid? DiskWarrior? Repair Permissions?

What is that crash log titled? Sounds to me like a window manager or login window crash, though I'm not the guy to decipher why.

eh, this isn't really any help at all, but if all else fails, a total reinstall of 10.2 should fix everything.
