After installing 10.6, I found that the three "special" System Preferences panels (Archives, Disk Images, and Processors) seemed to be missing from the System Preferences panel.
I tried reinstalling from Finder, but when double-clicking on the respective files in Finder, the system told me the panels were already installed. To get them back, I deleted the files in /Library/PreferencePanes (or perhaps in your user's Library/PreferencePanes folder if you installed only for your user). I then double-clicked on the respective files again.
This worked, but the panes can only be installed for all users of the computer. These panels are also 32-bit, as System Preferences will tell you. Finally, I couldn't get the Processor pane to work at all, even after reinstalling it.
[robg adds: I installed the Processor preference panel from the latest Xcode, and it seems to let me control the number of active CPUs, but the option to display the controller in the menu bar isn't working.]
