Yes!

I have had nearly all the problems you have.  Also, sometimes when an  
application, displays a dialog the application will lock up, not  
respond.  Force quitting from the dock, usually works, but often will  
take more than one attempt before the problem application will quit.   
I haven't tried the three finger force quit lately, because that was  
locking up also.  How do you force quit, the force quit window?  I  
could still work, but I couldn't close the force quit window, which  
unfortunately floats above all other windows.  I could drag it to the  
edge of the display.  It wouldn't allow me to log out, shutdown, or  
restart normally.  I have done all the repair routines, with  
AppleJack, and run the new DiskWarrior 3.0.3.

Upgrading to 10.4 went very smoothly, but I may need to do an archive  
install.  I have only had to force quit once since I ran  
DiskWarrior.  Hopefully, some of the problems have cleared up.  I  
will add that 10.4 is much more responsive on my G3 iBook, than any  
of the 10.3 versions.  Even with the problems I'm glad I upgraded.
