Unfortunately, my next suggestion is a little radical and can take a bit of time to finish but it works most of the time.

Please sit down and then cont. reading.

Archive and install OS X w/ preserved User settings and preferences.

One problem that can occur is that, after all that patching from the original version of X you had installed to the current one, things get a little muddled up.

If you archive and install with the save user settings and preferences option turned on, you can then just install the combo 10.2.6 and java 1.4.1 and you will have a far cleaner running system. As it is, you have an OS, then you have patched java 1.3.1 onto it, then you have patched a developer version of 1.4.1 on and then patched that to be a full 1.4.1. A new OS will be cleaner and far less patchy (if you mind the pun).

I guess the question is... how much do you want to run LimeWire?

BTW, all this was said on the assumption that you did repair your permissions and perform a file system check... is this a correct assumption?
