Example: Spaces forces all of your Finder windows onto a specific pane, while Desktop Manager was perfectly happy having Finder windows or shells or whatever else spread all around.


Spaces does default to going back to a certain desktop if that one desktop has the only window of an app. But it will allow multiple windows on different desktops. Either drag the second window to the edge of the desktop to switch over, use F8 to move one over, or right click the Finder Dock icon and choose New Finder Window. The same should work for other apps too.

I'm still tweaked that Bonjour held out the promise of things just freakin' working, worked perfectly in 10.4, works perfectly on my freakin' Windows laptop, but failed on 10.5.


I wonder if your printer has the same Bonjour bug my NAS did. The root of the problem was that the NAS was broadcasting AFP shares over Bonjour, but the port number was set to 0. 10.4 would just try the default port and work, 10.5 bombed out on connecting till a firmware upgrade to the NAS broadcast the proper port. My HP Color Laserjet works fine in 10.5 under Bonjour, and it's nice that the driver is built in. The printer was just slightly too new to be under 10.4, so I still had to manually install drivers for it.

Interesting tidbit, Apple does allow driver updates specifically for printers now via Software Update, something they never did for 10.4 or before. Looks like they realize 10.5 will probably be around for even longer then 10.4, and they need a way to easily update drivers. It's one thing I'll credit Microsoft Update for, driver updates can be pulled down using it.
