This was because 10.6 required 64-bit compatible screensavers, whereas existing screensavers were 32 bit.

Sometimes, though, I'll just present a solution without much of an explanation, such as with today's hint.

In OS X 10.5, pressing the Tab key while creating keyboard shortcuts (in the Keyboard Shortcuts tab of the Keyboard & Mouse System Preferences panel) didn't work; the system would just beep and not accept the Tab key.

One such change occurs when you use minimized windows with Spaces (Apple's tool to create virtual desktops). In OS X 10.5, when releasing (unminimizing just sounds so...wrong) a minimized window from the Dock, it would spring back into whatever Space it started on, switching to that Space as it activated the newly-released window.
