What the hell is going on here?
I'm running 10.1.5, and recently I've noticed some strange behavior. iTunes taking forever (10, 15 minutes) to quit, dock menus occasionally taking forever to draw (> 45 seconds) the finder screeching to a halt to copy a 170k file from one disk to another. Things like that. So tonight while waiting for iTunes to quit (before I decided to just force quit the bastard) I decided to take a look at the console log, just for shits and giggles, you know; and I found this:
etcetera etcetera etcetera....
amongst a few other colorful errors. I was just wondering what this means; I?m probably going to reinstall if this sort of stuff keeps up, I?m not really asking for help (although it would be appreciated) I was just curious as to what ?kCGErrorIllegalArgument : CGSGetWindowGeometry: Invalid window? means.
...thanks

Comments
otherwise, sounds like the UI core services are failing to redraw windows (might be QE related)
reinstall should help
incidentally... 10.1.5 isn't the best OS choice (if you have an option to upgrade),
10.2 Jaguar or 10.3 Panther don't seem to report these issues as often...
as well as being faster.
