Ok, in icon.app demo under 3.0, I discovered the following problems in the  
first 5 minutes:

1)  Tried to "open" something, immediate crash.

2)  Selected "text" then "set", crash.

3)  Tried to "save", crash.

4)  Clicked on the spray can tool, crash.

5)  Clicked on the marquee tool, crash.

Some of the above might be considered rather important.  One thing still  
works though.  You can run Icon.app remotely on a 2.1 machine, and send  
the display to your 3.0 screen.

Scene I haven't fully tested yet.  I only used scene for putting images in  
the background, and this fails under 3.0.  There *is* a public domain app  
called Background on the archives, and this comes with a command line  
utility that does what Scene used to do, so as far as I was concerned, not  
too big a loss.
