Cocktail ReviewThis Edition of *censored*tail requires Leopard - Version: 4.5, 11/21/2009 11:37AM PST

WOT ?
The previous edition worked fine under Snow Leopard.
Along comes the new version 4.5 and it says it requires Leopard, and so will not launch under Snow Leopard.
What exactly is going on here ??

With the latest update I have been getting at least 5 Temporary "Desktop" files in my Home file.. I've had *censored*tail for a few years and never had this problem. Is there any thing I can do to remedy this nuisance?
Please Help
