Finder Sidebar Broken in Leopard (updated)

[Andrew Merenbach]

A quick note: I just tried again and the sidebar works in both cases.   
Unfortunately, I still recall it not working as of the past couple of  
days.  The thing that's different now is that I don't have any  
external drives attached (and no way to attach them just yet, as I'm  
away from my drives).

My question now is: Has anyone seen unmounting problems, or sidebar  
problems in general, and if so--what are the circumstances under which  
those problems occur?

Thanks,
	Andrew
