Setting "#wpbody .wrap { position:relative; }" worked for me well enough in regard to widgets functioning again (thanks Kasper) with only the Comments page having rendering problems (drop down filter list overlapping the "Recheck queue for spam" link). The rest of the admin pages seem to be rendering properly. Of course my problem is different from yours and stems from two different themes and a single plugin that lock up the widgets page when activated (Firefox 3.0.* and Chrome).

You said you run plugins for old versions of WordPress. Can you deactivate your plugins one by one until you find the plugin or plugins causing the problem (leave Kasper's solution out of the picture for testing purposes while you do this)? It may be more than one plugin causing things to go awry so keep that in mind. Also, remember to clear your browser's cache before checking for a change. I've had to do this a number of times in the past, just part of the happy world of WordPress. ;)

I sent this to wp-hackers:

In latest nightly, under Widget management nothing is clickable.

It looks like .wrap's relative positioning is to blame.

#wpbody .wrap { position:relative; }

So the solution is to remove position:relative from #wpbody .wrap or to
add clear:both, like this:

#wpbody .wrap { position:relative; clear:both; }

I've found that by doing this, it throws the Admin header rendering all
off overlapping the various drop down menus associated with each
respective admin page that has them on top of the breadcrumb navigation
(the drop down menus being located immediately above the Admin page
content and below the breadcrumb navigation). Restoring
"position.relative" to "#body .wrap" (line 215 of global.css) brings
things back to normal which of course, includes locking the widgets page
back up.

No, it is not plugin which is causing this (testing 2.7, right?). It is
the CSS. In global.css we have:

#wpbody .wrap { position:relative; }

Try removing relative positioning (through FireBug) and all the links
work.

it's a plugin incompatibility problem, I had recently installed a new
plugin/widget and went to the widgets page and it was frozen(meaning
none of the links were actually clickable) I deactivated that plugin and
it went back to working, so I suggest you do the same....
