After a certain sequence, the Deskbar always goes ghosty
(button stays pressed in, no response, no replicants repainted
properly, etc.) and needs to be killed and restarted. I have
the 5.2.1 from BeBits.

One sequence:

1. Press the menu key (next to the Win key on 104s).
2. Press the first letter of a folder.
3. Press escape twice.

Eugh. :(

    Is this the same as bug [ 581513 ] (OpenDesbar freeze) ?
    what happens if you keep escape pressed and click on the be
    menu with the mouse (and keep the button clicked) ?

    I must be inept at using SF, but I don't see that bug listed (it
    jumps from 579... to 591...). Funny, though, I was able to view it
    by changing the URL manually.

    Anyway, it does have the same instant freeze effect, but it's a
    different method of getting there. That might help narrow it down--
    it's when escape is pressed while the button is in (not necessarily
    clicked on, just in). But not exactly, because I can hold escape,
    press the menu key on the keyboard, and press escape again, and it
    doesn't freeze.

    Hmm... I guess someone fixing the source would be able to say if
    these are two separate bugs or not, but I suspect you're right. How
    do I merge them, then? Just go to the other one and add my details,
    and try to kill this one?
