I just updated my ibook to 10.4.6 and now when I start the ibook up all it says in verbose mode is "Login Window Application Started" over and over again.
Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it.
Im pretty apprehensive about installing this on my G5 now!

did you wait for the double restart introduced with this update?

As Nai no Kami mentioned there's a double restart after applying the update. I thought it was hung for a minute but it eventually went thru a second restart and all was well with by G5. It seems much faster now than with 10.4.5.
Don't know about your iBook but you might have to put it in Target mode and go that route. Check the Apple Discussions for Tiger as there is a lot of discussion on that type of problem and several possible solutions mentioned. I don't remember them offhand as they were not of interest to me.

The ibook restarted twice and the second time sat there at the spinning apple logo for 15 mins, I then rebooted the machine in verbose mode and it said that the window server crashed and then repeatedly displayed the message I wrote above.
Anyone know if you can apply the update again in single user mode? or something like that?

If your Mac restarted twice, it should be OK (I mean, the update should have been installed properly). Have you tried restarting holding the Shift key?. If this works, it may be a corrupted file (think Preferences, caches...).
If that doesn't work, I suggest you a very tedious measure: do an "archive and install" of Mac OS X (which will preserve your data and will move your current Mac OS to a folder) and install every update again.
Do you have any 3rd party system modifications like ShapeShifter, APE, etc.?. Maybe those are the culprit.

My iBook did the 2 restarts (as do every PPC based Mac with this update), and started up fine for the first time.
However from that point on, little weird things started happening. Menu apps disappeared (clock, login, menu meters), applications stopped working (Address book lost its DB, iCal wouldn't report dates properly). I ended up doing a format, and did the update to 10.4.6 before installing anything else, and it seems to be running fine (for now).
