This is great. Now all I need is a very small widget that relaunches Quicksilver for the *ahem* times it decides to freeze. Otherwise I have to go into my applications folder, Yuck!

You may aswell press Command ESC in Finder. Or Contol Command Q in Quicksilver. And then probably sort out the Trash from your catalogs.

If you're using LiteSwitch X it's faster (I think) to Cmd-Tab over to the app to be relaunched and hit F-F for force quit or F-R for force relaunch...

You probably don't need to ever type out "relaunch". On my system, "fi(tab)rel(enter)" does the trick. The key combination will depend on how the user trained their Quicksilver.
3) Serge; yeah, it's unfortunate, but I do just that. I remember a time when Quicksilver didn't spontaneously die on occasion, now I have to relaunch it maybe every couple weeks. I wish I knew what changed.
