Missing SwitcherBar

For some reason, roughly every other day, I lose my switcher-bar. I then have to do a hard reset. This is not fun. Otherwise I love my x51v. Anyone know anything about this switcherbar problem? Or, barring that, anyone know of any other good apps that work with WM5 and can really shut down programs?

use magic button and ilauncher. But are you really having to do a hard reset - loose everything, re-align screen type reset? what programs are running at that time, it seems it may be more of a program issue than switcher itself.

It seems to happen pretty randomly - my Axim is pretty new and so I don't have much software on there.. iGuidance and ADBidea, MSreader and TCPMP are it. I've been trying out a few RSS readers as well, but the switcher problem has happened with two different readers installed.

It's wierd. i'll notice that the switcher icon is gone (which is fine, I think it goes away after long periods of idleness), so i'll go to Settings -> System to get it back, but it's gone from there. I guess i'll try removing programs and whatnot to see if I can narrow down any possible program causes.

Or i'll just use Magic Button :P
