[X4U] Weird Finder/Keyboard Bug (Leopard)

[Michael Elliott]

Jim
If it happens again, try selecting your Displays menu item and then  
changing the resolution of your monitor and then back. There is a  
Leopard bug that some of us are getting where the Desktop freezes and  
you can't click or type in Finder. Almost as if you're working with a  
screenshot of your Desktop. Changing the resolution helps fix it.
