I won't upgrade, but instead will just install Linux on it. Its no longer worth the hassle of keeping up with Apple on these kinds of issues - better to just switch to an OS/environment where these kinds of fixes can be better maintained and won't result in apps being killed from my life.

How did you get 10.6 running on Powerbook? Afaik, 10.5 was the end of line for PPC Macs.

I do have a PPC Mac too, but with Nvidia graphics, so Linux is not a solution for me :(.
