So, I have a beautiful new 13″ MBP. I enthusiastically used the migration assistant to copy over all my data from my desktop, excited to finally be able to work efficiently with all my files handy while traveling. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I go to update my desktop wallpaper and screen saver and the system preferences pane freezes up. I force-quit and try again, restart and try again, even re-install OSX and migrate my data again, but still the Spinning Beach Ball of Death haunts me.
After much googling, I discover at the very end of this complicated thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035030&start=15&tstart=0) a suggestion to download and install the iLifeSupport update (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/ilifesupport903.html) which worked BEAUTIFULLY.
This is only my 3rd day of MBP ownership. Hopefully this will be the last of my troubles but if not you can count on me letting you know about it.

Thank you very much! I’ve been having the same issue and I was worried that I had made a mistake by buying the new Macbook Pro. I’ve had great success with the last generation pro… so I am glad to see there are no major problems with this one.
