Magic trackpad hangs on user switching

When I switch between user accounts (mostly back to my admin account) the trackpad often hangs. It sometimes recovers after a few minutes and other times requires a reboot. I have all the latest software updates and am using with 18 month old iMac. Any ideas?

iMac 3 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

But odd that it's only started happening relatively recently. I don't think the Twitter app has had a recent update.

Hmm...

Yeah, it's not just the Microsoft app; I've been able to replicate it with at least three or four other apps.

I know, the MSFT dig was just too easy ;)

I think I have the same issue and I too think it is related to the latest software update. Anyone found a fix?
