Bruce, thanks for your reply.
I am running 10.3.7 on several machines. This happens on G4 quicksilver, G4 iBook, G4 Yikes and G4 Sawtooth.
As you can see it doesn't seem to be hardware dependent. I am not sure if it started when I started updating to 10.3.7. I also thought it might be a bug in 10.3.7 but I believe I noticed it first in 10.3.6
My great fear is that this is related to some process similar to the old extension conflicts that occurred back in OS 9.
Like you, I have noticed the problem that you mentioned.

I have noticed during the last few weeks a phenomena that seems to be increasing frequency. Sometimes when I download an application (not a particular type or kind) It downloads fine and everything seems normal. I expand the sit file and still everything seems fine. But when I double click the application it flashes a partial icon on my lower control bar and then goes away. I can't get the application to run. The first time this happened I blamed it on "bad programing". But it seems to be more and more common. My first thought was this is due to some sort of permissions issue but I don't think that is the case.
Have any other people experienced this? If you have, how did you fix it?
Are you running 10.2 or 10.3? I've run into this thing trying to run programs under 10.2 which require (and don't always state they require!) 10.3 to run.
