Solaris 5.10 "Move Pointer" stuck

Hey there,

I joined this forum just now cause I need help with an old SUN machine at work. I work on a helpdesk and we use a SOLARIS 5.10 OS. Every once in a while we will try to move one of our windows out of the way to make room on the desktop, and sometimes the mouse doesn't release what we are moving. It gets stuck on the "move pointer". Even if we figure out how to kill the window that we were moving in the first place it still doesn't release the mouse. We have a 4 head workstation and when this happens the pointer doesn't leave the screen that it got stuck on. Its like its waiting for me to tell it to do something but all the options are off the screen. The only way to fix this is to log out and back in, but it can take hours to bring everything up again that we need. I'd love to figure this out for myself and my coworkers cause its driving us nuts! Please Help, thanks!

       the ghosts. There is also bonus available, for a limited amount of time. An X gives just points, but a little pacman gives an extra life.
