Looks like you have a lot of things set to load on startup.
What are we missing?

I'm just been having a lot problems lately, it won't go to sleep, I can't change the aspect
ratio on my Desktop Pic, overall sluggishness, just numerous little nagging items.
No panics or anything like that.
I've got 3 items listed on my Startup Items > Accounts Preferences:
iTunesHelper >Not sure why that's there.
MicrosoftMouseHelper >Probably need it, I have a wireless MS mouse.
Epson Scanner Monitor >Not sure why that's there.
I didn't choose any of these items for Startup they must have defaulted there.
The only one that's checked is iTunesHelper in the Accounts preferences.
I'm 10.3.9 on a G4 533 dual with 1 gig RAM.

If you have an Epson scanner connected, then you need the scanner monitor. If you don't, delete it from the Login Items.
iTunesHelper is necessary. Leave it alone.
You have Apple Remote Desktop client turned on. Turn it off unless you have a VERY specific reason for having that on.
You have Image Capture set to standby, always ready to accept pictures. Change Image Capture's prefs to fix this.
TWAINbridge is related to your scanner in some way. If you no longer have a scanner, this shouldn't be on. Go into ~/Library/StartupItems and dump it.
Everything else looks fine. If WindowServer is eating up 12% CPU *all the time,* then you have a problem. Otherwise, not.
