The problem with loosing NSUserDefaults based preferences when the

It's Jaguar. I, too, hope that Panther will fix this. It's too serious
to skip it; probably even more serious than the normal security updates.
File a bug report for NSUserDefaults. It will be marked as a
duplicate, but it would still be good as it makes Apple more aware of
that particular problem.
Yes. =)
Problems with memory leaks is going to be more important on Panther,
since people will keep their applications running for longer periods
of time - as they can use Fast User Switching instead of logging out.
Indeed, you're right. I started myself to keep apps running, "if I
should need them in a few minutes". This may be a bad habit, until it's
safe to do so.
It really is important to keep memory leaks in your applications to a
minimum. Use "top" to find applications that are leaking memory. Look
at the rightmost column, if it is growing a lot over time it could be
a memory leak that should be reported to the developer of that app.
Check in the list archives for instructions on how to use the "leaks"
tool for finding memory leaks in your own applications.
Thanks. =)
Love,
Jens
