I don't think it's print selection-- not only because that's not what it looks like from the print dialog, but at least the printer icon would come up in the tray, and something would come out of the printer. C&P seems to work-- ISTR having a problem with it at some point so I want to see if there's some other solution to nip this in the bud. Obvs if no one here has seen this before I'm SOL.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'll try that sarameg.
So I just let FileVault recover unused space and now it tells me "Turning off FileVault requires an additional 4084.0 GB of free disk space..." Woohoo! 8GB down 4084GB to go!
Again, WTF??

You're turning off FileVault by going through System Prefs, Jon? Just to make sure I understand the situation. Because it seems like a weird freakign situation.

Yes.
Also, I created a Movie folder alias in my user folder (where it was before I moved it), but FrontRow still doesn't see it.

OK,I figured out the Movie folder thing. I needed to create a real folder called "Movies" and put the alias inside it. One problem down.

Well, the FileVault thing is a complete mystery. I'm convinced never to turn it on, I can tell you that much.
I just created an alias of my "Videos" folder (which is on an external hard drive) inside my Movies folder, and Front Row can find it. It's kind of kludgey - to access these videos I have to click on the Videos application in Front Row, then click on Movies, then scroll down to the Videos folder, but it works. So I'm thinking if you moved all your movies into anotehr folder on your external hard drive and moved the empty Movies folder back into your user profile with only an alias in it, that should do the trick, assuming that your internal hard drive is not too full from the FileVault madness. Ormaybe simply creating a new Movies folder where the old one used to be and droping an alias in it would work.
Eta: ha! X-post while I experiment, of course.

That guy was trying to turn Filevault on. I'm trying to turn it off.
Still, good to know I'm not alone.

Woops. Sorry Jon, wasn't paying much attention. I'm pretty I've seen people with the opposite problem, though.

I'm currently testing a theory that me needing 4084GB is a lie -- that I really only need to get the HD over half empty and it'll work. This might take awhile... I'll report back later.
