Replace loginwindow.plist to fix logout, reboot, etc. issues
Authored by: ShaZaaM on Apr 16, '04 04:45:00AM

I am PLAGUED by this problem. Restart, Shut Down and Reboot do nothing from the Apple menu and I need to sudo reboot from the terminal. Also when I try to access the Desk Top & Screen Savers preference pane, the system preferences hang. Theres only minor inconveniences but I'm wondering if thisis the left overs of a font problem I was having or if these are symptoms to a greater, imminent and significantly more dangerous Mac os x fiasco??

Anyone recognise this?
Can you help?

When I trash the loginwindow.plist everything is sweet again but something seems to be corrupting it after a while and I don't have enough experience with the os x engines to know what to look for.
