What Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) broke when I upgraded

Let me count the ways...

So, I upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard.  Umm...that's not worked out exactly like I had planned.  
  • MySql 5.x server and preference pane (The Fix)
  • Python's MySql libraries (The Fix)
  • Wireshark
  • qt-faststart.c v0.1 compile (v0.2 that comes with ffmpeg/tools works fine.)
  • The PackageManager installation project for my xtendx Creator Server software (The behavior of "launchctl list" has changed; ./preinstall scripts do not work) (No Fix Yet)
  • iStat, a menu bar resource (CPU, bandwidth, disk) meter (No Fix Yet)
  • TrueCrypt (Cannot create new volumes, nor write to existing volumes) (The Fix)
  • Some Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) and 3.4 (Europa) fonts  ("Argh!  How did all my method modifies disappear!!!") (Fixed by tweaking font colors in preferences)
  • CyberDuck (FTP/SCP/etc client) (The Fix)
  • VLC (VideoLanClient) 0.8x blows up every now and then (Upgrade to 1.01)
  • Encoding tools (fetch latest source and recompile)
    • faac
    • faad2
    • x264 (big time)
    • ffmpeg
I suspect I'll be updating this list as the week progresses.
