On the other hand, I went whole hog and moved to 10.3.8 immediately after upgrading to Panther.
I'm normally very conservative and let 6 months to a year go by (!) before I try the next incantation of the O/S. But, throwing caution to the winds this time, I find 10.3.8 very benign for me!
Did you download the big standalone installer? I applied the smaller incremental patch - this may be one reason why I had problems. I'm getting broadband soon so I may be able to use the standalone updaters in the future.
Panther was the final catalyst for me to get a PowerMac last year. To be more specific, it was really Expos�.
I'm sure that whatever you do with your daily computer uses, you must tweak Panther in ways I don't, so you've found some glitch I may never see.
The only tweak I'm running is a copy of Desktop Manager which I'm finding absolutely indispensable in my "serious work" account. Yes, even with multiple monitors, virtual desktops can be very useful!
