Quickly relaunch an app with Quicksilver
That's it, Quicksilver is officially The Handiest Utility Ever. This great tip from Lifehacker explains how you can use Quicksilver to quickly relaunch an application that has - *ahem*- unexpectedly frozen. Simply call up Quicksilver, find the target application, tab over to the action pane, type "relaunch," hit return and blammo! The errant app gets a kick in the seat. Thanks, Quicksilver!

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