I'm running OS X Leopard on my beloved shiny Macbook and there's one thing that I find irritating. I love using F9, F10, F11 etc to bring up Exposé, Dashboard and the Desktop, but every now and again they suddenly stop functioning. It's normally when the computer's been on for a few days - I hit the keys and nothing happens. So I check in Keyboard Shortcuts of the System Prefs, and all the boxes in the "Dock, Exposé and Dashboard" are magically unticked. I can tick them again, and everything's fine and dandy for a few days. Alternatively, I can reboot and it's back to how it should be. (For a while...) Why is this happening, and how can I stop it?

I'm running Leopard on my new iMac, and I like the Stacks feature, but one aspect Apple brags about is how Stacks keeps your desktop clean--but mine's a freakin' mess. I've set downloads to go to the Downloads folder, but every little thing I download goes into both my Stacks Dowloads alias, as well as my desktop. How can I prevent downloads from getting onto my desktop?
