I just installed the updates, 10.3.9 and the Security pack, on my G4 iBook.
Repaired permissions Ran MacJanitor to take care of cron jobs turned off all other apps installed the updates from Software Update allowed it to restart itself (this took a very long time) The dock, wallpaper, and desktop icons look just like they should, but there is no top menu bar. The day/time, volume control, etc appear in the upper right corner of the screen where they should be, but there's no grey stripe and no blue apple, or any of the other options that should be in the upper left. Apple Mail is working, can be accessed from the dock, and has a top menu bar. Safari is crashing instantly because of Pith Helmet. I would just trash Pith Helmet, but I can't seem to open a Finder window. I would repair permissions again, but I don't know how to get there either. When no apps are open, the spinning multi-chromatic beachball spins and spins and spins. What am I missing? How do I get into Finder? I appeal to those in the know. Sigh. Thanks.
