I've never run a powerpc system until a few months ago, and this has 
always been an issue on the PowerMac.  I just recently established the 
pattern that it only happens after a cold boot, though.  I also have an 
iMac G5 that does not exhibit this issue.  Both are running 
12.0-RELEASE.  If you think it might help, I can try a 13 snapshot at 
some point.

Cheers,
