Mac OS X 10.4.7 to deliver audio fixes, more
An update to Apple Computer's Mac OS X Tiger operating system due within a matter of days will deliver audio enhancements for several of the company's applications, AppleInsider has learned.
The update has been under development at Apple for a couple months and saw its latest seedings on Thursday in the form of Mac OS X 10.4.7 build 8J2133 (Intel) and Mac OS X 10.4.7 build 8J133 (Power PC). In Delta update form — the bare bones install requiring Mac OS X 10.4.6 — the updates are said to weigh in at a hefty 130MB and 64MB, respectively.
Testers have also disclosed that Apple has implemented fixes into the release for saving Adobe and Quark documents to AFP mounted volumes, syncing files and other data to .Mac, and using iChat to create chat rooms over the AIM protocol.
Additional enhancements will target PDF workflows in applications like iCal and iPhoto, importing files into Keynote 3, ensuring icons are spaced correctly when viewed on desktop, and importing and removing fonts in Apple's Font Book application.
According to testers, the company recently completed the documentation for Mac OS X 10.4.7, suggesting a release within days.

Does this mean the MacBook kernel panics will go away?
Does anybody else have that minor issue, with you're mighty mouse cursor? Whereby it suddenly jumps randomly now and then to a screen corner without notice.

I had that same issue. However, it seemed to go away when using a mouse pad. (Although I didn't get to test it for too long after that because I traded it for a BT Mouse)
"ensuring icons are spaced correctly when viewed on desktop"
So now if you use the smallest possible font and side-labels to pack your desktop with cluttery goodness (like I do), hopefully the spacing will be tighter than the second-smallest size. Right now the spacing is oddly larger at the smallest font size.
So, hopefully it be out sometime next week.
