Not sure this is user error... I have QS triggers set up on some of my
function keys to launch certain apps. I also have these apps tied to
specific Spaces. The trigger key will launch the relevant app in its
correct space. If the app is already running, hitting the key switches
me to the Space I want, focused on the app I want. However since the
upgrade, hitting a trigger key causes the same spinning beachball and
inactivity as described by the original poster. Sometimes I eventually
get switched to the app, sometimes QS crashes. Perhaps this is not
related to the 10.5.7 upgrade, but I've had these triggers in place
for some years without any problem, so the timing makes it seem to me
pretty likely.
