Thereby eliminating the reason one might prefer Safari to hide the tab bar when only one tab is in use: to give Safari more window space with one tab. It's broken like the rest of OS X's "Zoom" functionality.

With a couple of exceptions, my settings are scarily similar to Brad's. Most important differences are "Tracking Speed" (set to half-way: I rarely use an external mouse and value pointer precision; all other rates are at maximum) and "Snap to grid" on the Desktop (the space wasted between columns of icons is huge, so I like being able to drop icons into the space between columns on my little 12-inch screen).

Single best change? Setting "Active Screen Corners" for Exposé. This revolutionises window-management in a way that clumsily clawing for Function keys never could. I have an iBook (like you chucker) and the trackpad works perfectly for throwing the cursor rapidly into a corner (and like I mentioned, my "Tracking Speed" is only half-way). I didn't really "get" what was so great about Exposé until I did this.
