What bugs in 10.3.x do you want squished in 10.3.5?

Specifics
Yeah I want all the bugs fixed too, but what are the biggest gripes?

I don't see many bugs myself,

however there is one were a Mounted Flashcard (I assume it isn't just a flash card problem) doesn't eject unless I force quit the finder, after I edit some files from the disk itself. IE I open a picture on the Flash Card Change it and save it, it won't eject after words...

Also 10.x.5 releases typically include extra features in them as well.
What minor new functionality would you like to see added?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Me I want iCal & Addressbook Rendevous Support

System Stuff
Add Scope (limit to Network, Range, or computer) support Firewall
Easy configuration of common firewall ports, (pull down the menu) Add port and it should have more stuff listed. This takes 2 seconds for apple to Add

Stuff like Renzdevous & AIM, LDAP
Here is a complete list of ports apple uses
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439

Does DVD Player in Tiger do a Lookup of the movie info like iTunes does for song info?
That would be cool to add.
It just works so I don't have to

Because if it's not perfect I don't want it released and then Apple wouldn't have to worry about any more bugs at all...

Just a few minor things. Icons that don't change in the sidebar. View Options settings that don't stick after reboot. "(null)" processes that run rampantly and don't get killed automatically. Safari can eat up an inordinate amount of the CPU after I get done running some things, like Flash or whatnot, so I'd like to see that fixed up since having 70% of my CPU power disappear for an application that's only being used to surf message boards at that time is rather annoying. There are a couple of other minor things. None of them are really severe though, but yeah, I'd like them dealt with.

The null process you're seeing in Activity Viewer is probably Classic, and if it's taking up that much processor time it is likely crashed. But how is it OS X's fault for not automatically killing it? How is OS X supposed to know whether or not Classic is dead? It's the user's responsibility to kill it if it gets out of hand. If you're having problems with CPU time being sucked up by forum reply pages, it's probably because you have those animated smilies on. Turn them off through forum preferences, or get PithHelmet, which I have heard is a good app for turning such things off.
