My PowerBook seems to be cursed. I still haven’t figured out why it switches to the wrong application sometimes (example situation: in iTerm; click on a Safari window; Safari pops to the front, then the Finder immediately pops up in front of everything. WTF?). Now I have a new bug: some of my applications appear to be cloning themselves in the Finder.

The following are screengrabs from my open “Applications” window in the Finder:

The actual .app bundles aren’t duplicated! There’s just one file (confirmed in the filesystem), one inode, etc. But the Finder is showing double icons for a few apps. It even shows triplets for VirtueDesktops:

Huh?
