Yes.

I haven't seen an announcement of the mechanism.  Apple and other
reports on Copland have said that the user will be able to restart the
Blue Box in the event that it hangs/crashes, and Copland-savvy
applications would be able to reattach/redraw their UI.  I am assuming
that some kind of three-finger salute will bring up a box with a
couple of options...
