It works! I stopped using anacron when Apple's last security update
from 2008 stopped the peaceful coexistence of Desktop Manager and
Dock. The only cure was to archive&install (I can perform it now in
three hours!). And I did not re-install anacron. Launch Service is a
bit slow, i.e., eight hours can pass with the Mac on until it sees:
oh, I missed one!
BTW, in your system you should find that things get done twice ...
(with MenuMeters or iStat menu in the menu bar or GKrellm in X11
you can see two peaks of simultaneous CPU load and disk use; and of
course there are the LOG files)
