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.
