For those interested -
After updating to 10.3.8 on a Power Mac G5 (2.0 GHZ) the following apps 
had some difficulty -

1) Shape-Shifter needed to be updated before applying any theme - 
update defaulted it back to Aqua.
2) Konfabulator Widgets had networking issues even though I was able to 
get my mail and surf the internet?  It took closing and relauching them 
to get them to work - mini-weather widget was the worst to fix.

just some initial findings -
