Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the template for the new "Guest Account" functionality in Leopard. For some reason it's heavily protected against modifications, having its permissions set to root or something like that. (I don't know much about UNIX permissions, I hope that what I wrote makes sense).
Edit: Ireland, did you try to boot in verbose mode (cmd-opt-v) and try to find the culprit?
Came home tonight and woke my Mac Pro and now its weather and stock widgets are acting normally. Not sure what happened but I'm glad things are back to normal.
Pre-update, Transmission didn't get its traffic through the incoming port properly even though I had the firewall switched off. But the update did something to the firewall apparently and now the slowage seems to be fixed.
When I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, I had a few things left over causing the system log to get new messages every few seconds slowing everything down. For me it was a leftover NetInfo launchagent but also there's sometimes incompatible kernel extensions too. mLanAudio for instance.
CrashReporter will also generate copious amounts of files for every crash and try and send them back to Apple. I spotted that when I upgraded to LittleSnitch 2.0.
Check your /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ folder to see if you've got files there. You can safely delete all the files in that folder, restart and watch what is crashing.

I deleted these files and got a 50 second restart, though it was a fluke, so I performed another restart. I got 32 seconds the second time. Let's hope this keeps up, and thanks.
Update: 55 seconds that time. Still, better than 2+ minutes.

Has /Library/Logs/CrashReporter re-filled again though?
I wish they'd fix the icon sorting in the finder. I used to be able to sort by name then kind and everything would be in alphabetical order with the folders at the end. Now, if I choose sort by kind, it doesn't keep my icons in alphabetical order. I end up with Microsoft AutoUpdate and Switch at the top of the list.
I used onyx to clean, delete, optimize and my computer may or may not shut down or restart. I am having to hit the power button on the back of the computer after a few minutes. I am left with the background image and the rotating clock thingy just going around and around.
I have nothing in my crash logs after numerous shut downs and restarts. Spotlight is not indexing anything, and my time machine backup is not in the middle of backing up. iDisk sync is on but not in progress when I restart or shutdown.
After the update, and if you try to access time machine, or verify disk - you receive a box that requires that you enter an administrators name and password; there is none for my computer, nor has there ever been one. Any ideas of a fix in sight? JFD
I just noticed the iTunes UI is now consistent with Leopard (the faded border when it's inactive). I hadn't updated to 7.5 until just now so I'm not sure if that came in 7.5 or if that came with the 10.5.1 update. Anyone know?
To the best of my knowledge, the 10.5.1 update made the changes. At least it appears to be so on my MPB 17 C2D.

I don't think that it's going to cause anything to happen if you leave it.
Haven't see that before though...
2 minutes restarts are not the norm for me on this machine, something's up.
What's this in System > Library > User Template?

Woot.
I was hoping to see updates to x11, restoring the same functionality as Tiger's x11. Does anyone have insight on the matter?
Head over to http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/ and grab the latest Xquartz out of the latest xorg-server-* directory and put it in /usr/X11/bin/

Has /Library/Logs/CrashReporter re-filled again though?
If it has, that indicates there's a problem.

No, it hasn't.

10.5.1
I got the sam permissions repair warnings and it took forever. All seems to be running well.
SDW2001, How did you repair it?

With disk utility

Unfortunately, I can't get into disk utility without first entering a administrator name and password... Looks like a trip to the Apple store...
After updating to 10.5.1 I ran permissions verify and got a lot of warnings that look like this (only with real filenames of course)
Warning: SUID file "xxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx" has been modified and will not be repaired.
For kicks I ran repair permissions and got the same result: a lot of files that have "been modified and will not be repaired."
I'm guessing this isn't something to get too concerned about as everything appears to be running smoothly.
Any ideas???
I'm getting the same error but doesn't appear to affect functionality at all.
