Well, I do use the 13" screen as well. And I have it maxed out at 2GB  
of RAM (it's one of the first generation Macbooks).
Oddly enough, I restarted the Macbook, checked Time Machine, and the  
animations were there on the 20" screen.

I'm beginning to think Leopard is like Windows ME with all the  
restarts that I'm having to do...
Love it otherwise.
