Hi Susan,
Interesting article.
If I was Pat, I would download and run the OSX Update Combo 10.5.8
"Twice" (as recommended on the link you supplied).
<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/082809-fixing-permissions-in-leopard-and.html

After installing the Combo twice, then repair permissions.
Pat might find she needs to Run Repair permissions a few times.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Pat, its possible that upgrading to Leopard will fix the problem.
See the article on this page, with links to discussions on repairing
permissions problems that other people were having. Doesn't sound
quite the same as your problem though. regards, Susan.

Hello, WAMuggers,
A month or two back I upgraded Safari 4 and QuickTime to the most
recent versions. Ever since, when I use Disk Utility to repair
permissions, dozens of entries needing repair come up. They don't
stay repaired, and reappear after every restart.
I know how to discard plists to force new ones to be generated, but
these permissions are buried deep in their packages. I know how to
open the packages to see the files, but I hesitated to just discard
the problem ones.
I would like to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but I thought I should
probably try to resolve this problem first. I have put a screen
shot of the list at this site:

I will be grateful for any advice.
