Permissions Repair after 10.7.5

I never had any problems with my permissions before I updated to 10.7.5 but now I have something that will just not get repaired, is anybody else experiencing the same. It's reoccuring everytime, so Disk Utility isn't repairing it despite what it says.

I haven't experienced any issues with the monitors, but did notice how the update created an invisible folder in the Preference Panes folder called .Displays and created an alias for Display.PrefPane and moved the original to the .Displays/V1 folders.

Is this just another glitch that has happened before with Disk Utility in previous versions of OS X?

I disagree, I can notice a change in performance. I have the same problem's as discribed. Start up is slower longer gray screen time, longer spinning color wheel..., and I often have problems with my Magic Mouse becoming sluggish. Prior to this "problem" I just ran RP and everything would be hunky dory...

For anyone who expects an update from Apple forget it. The only way you get fixes is by BUYING the next version. It's apple's way to con us out of our money. Ever since Steve kicked the bucket, they no longer do fixes to existing products, unless it can result in a lawsuit against apple that they cannot win. SInce most issues are stability issues, they won't fix them and you just have to buy the next OS.

Does the word Microsoft ring any bells here?

Same here. Same "Display" related files, hundreds of them, keep getting "repaired" on every run of Repair Permissions. Lion / 10.7.5 . (I have some software that does not run correctly on ML, trying to stay in Lion.)

Posting results of etrecheck. Agree disk perms are wack- did check on those too. The attempted repairs are bad ones. NIBS aren't executable and don't need to have that turned on.

Glad I checked because there are quite afew old and powerpc things that needed to go away.

I am guessing: Everyone on forum has upgraded from an old OS (not fresh).

For me this was a fresh install, but then I "Migrated applications" using migration tool.
