I admit I actually went ahead and installed it (against my better judgement, since like Daniel I generally avoid resource hogs like this). I was surprisingly pleasantly surprised by its performance, so I left it there (leaving the desktop module turned off). I upgraded to 10.6.5 on the weekend from Software Update, after first checking and repairing permissions, and experienced no problems at all. I have just tested the desktop module after reading your posting and it worked with no problems, so I don't think that there are really any issues with 10.6.5 and MLD per se, not on my system anyway. That's not to say that something else is not causing problems in conjunction with MLD on your system, but that's another problem entirely.
