This problem may have been discussed before, but since multifinder opens
desk accessories not attached to the current application, Stars ends up
kind of floating in space (pun intended, sorry).  Thus the windows stay
open instead of being blanked.  The lockup is because the current process
doesn't close stars on a mouse click and stars stays open.  If you click
on the selection icon and get stars back to the correct level, you can
end stars and return to multifinder or any open window.  To make Stars
work correctly, you must hold down the option key when selecting it.
That way it becomes the controlling task and will get the mouse click
that is intended to return to the desktop.
