Apple Seeds First Mac OS X 10.5.3 (9d10) Version
Fixes range from Dashboard, Parental Controls, iCal Synchronization, memory leaks and stability issues. All in all, 75 distinct bug fixes are listed in the accompanying seed notes.
A few known issues remain, and Apple typically seeds a number of developer builds for testing before releasing the final update to customers. While these point releases generally provide bug and stability fixes only, the 10.5.2 seed also addressed some user interface complaints. The current version of Mac OS X (10.5.2) was released in February 2008.

Apple's just released a OS X Leopard 10.5.3 update beta to developers, meaning that the patch is at least stable enough for widespread testing. Among the things being fixed are several memory leaks in CoreAnimation and iCal, but the final release won't be available until an estimated April or May.

Nice find. It looks like they're also fixing the widely known issue of Mail.app not consistently giving notification sounds. It's about damn time.
maybe they'll also finally get to the issue of mail not hiding (when instructed to) when starting at login

I've had problems with Mail not hiding or quitting (and Safari) at different times (not just when starting at login). Force quitting is only a minor occurrence for me, but thinking about some people I know, widespread panic could ensue if it happened to them :)
I'm currently reinstalling Leopard because my disk icon disappeared from the desktop/sidebar, and I haven't been able to retrieve it. I do hope random things like this get sorted out in the next release.
Hmmm, I edited my sidebar to get rid of the ugly CAPSLOCK titles.
I wonder if its a simple fix? (the desktop should just be a case of changing preferences) edit (as too should be the sidebar)
