This just started a couple hours ago with Safari forgetting just about all my preferences, like what font, to block pop-ups, and use tabs. Now, OmniWeb and Mail forgot how I customized my toolbars and the reverted to their default toolbar settings...

[ Finder now forgot its preferences and put the hard drive / media on desktop... ]

I hope this doesn't continue! Why would these preferences magically change?

Has it happened to you?
... and no, I'm not using a WWDC Panther.

Your disk is full.

You should not have let this happen (search the forum).
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Doubt it. I have a 40GB drive with 33.4GB left and I was having the same problems. Eventually, I had to just back everything up and reinstall.
