Hi,
I do no think that this reflects a disk space problem. I saw this  
same problem upon upgrading to 10.4.0. I color code certain  
directories so that I can see where my windows of interest are amidst  
those that are open. These background colors changed with the  
upgrade. Moreover, I just upgraded to a new laptop and I still see  
the problem, and on the new laptop I have 81.4 GB available out of  
148.73 GB (55%).

Does anybody else see this problem? It is easy to reproduce. Just  
change the background colors of a window in icon view, close the  
window, reopen it, and the window color will be different. Without  
any test, the new colors seem to be the complementary colors of those  
initially chosen. Weird.

The present state of the system of nature is evidently a consequence  
of what it was in the preceding moment, and if we conceive of an  
intelligence which at a given instant comprehends all the relations  
of the entities of this universe, it could state the respective  
positions, motions, and general affects of all these entities at any  
time in the past or future.
