Spaces seems to crash Finder

[naturallight]

Hmm, installed Leopard a few days ago, and it seems that Spaces crashes my Finder. I can't select the dock, I can't select items on the desktop, if I have a finder window open, it doesn't respond. Sometimes the Spaces graphic gets stuck on my screen as well.

I do a restart and everything is ok.

Anyone else had problems like this?

I've just had this problem too. I've been using spaces since September or so, when they released the update to it that made it usable. I've had no problems until today. I've tried lots of trickery to get to my applications in the other spaces to no avail. I had thought that maybe it was due to the update from a few days ago, but the date on your message is older than that. I'm about to force it off and turn it all back on.

I did a little more poking around before trying to force a shutdown, and found this. It worked like a charm:

Spaces and Mail

My Mac MAIL crashes many times daily. Does anyone know if this could be a conflict with Spaces? I seem to be the only one in my office using spaces and the only one with Mail crashes. Running OSX, v 10.6.6 iMac.
