Deprecated - Drupal core

I've got a question about the intended behavior of the core 'system' module:

When switching to a new theme that has never been activated before, information about the blocks that should appear are copied to the new theme configuration but at the same time, the title values of all the blocks are not copied. What you wind up with is the same block configuration as your old theme, only the blocks have no titles. Is this the intended behavior, or is this a bug?

I'm running Drupal-5.1 and accessing my website from a Win2000 machine with IE5.0.2920. This is out-of-the-box Windows 2000, build 2195. I guess hardly anyone uses it anymore, SP4 being the standard Win2K patchlevel for several years, but it's a machine in my test farm.

I'm seeing a Javascript error caused by the textarea.js file. It says "Error, object doesn't support this property or method" at line 3 char 1. OK that and it says "Error, push' is not an object" at line 34 char 3.

I spent the day figuring out how to redirect to a custom view after a user is created. I do not allow user registration so admins should create them using admin > user > user > create (or an url alias).

Setting $form['#redirect'] in hook_form_alter doesn't work (can anybody tell me why?) so the solution was:

For a project I'm working on, I need a way to change the login block form title "Username". I needed for this to say "User Name:", but I could also see other folks wanting "Login:" or "E-mail:". I looked all over the place and could find anything so I decided to try a patch to the main user module. Essentially this patch adds two methods theme functions that all custom theme developers to change the titles:

Hi

Im trying to find a way to add (private) file downloads to the watchdog log. My initial thought was to hook into hook_download_file and log from there. I quickly realised that for one reason or another, this is called more than once per download, presumably because it is used for listing attachments, checking permissions and for the actual streaming of the file to the browser. So i thought i should only log on the first call to the hook, incrementing a global int on each call. I appended the int to my log string, it came out as 1 every time..! So my questions for you are:
