stuck hand cursor

[negativland2009]

on selecting a bookmark sometimes at random the target isnt selected - the cursor changes to a hand permanently rendering any use of the cursor in all other applications and the desktop useless - doesnt register click events any more. Either must logout using ctrl-alt-del - shortcuts still work - or alt-4 close firefox - cursor changes back to normal and normal service is resumed.
