It often helps to press a few keys, then the system wakes up again.
The best way seems to be to start a word-processor (desktop-icons, even in
windows are still active) and do some typing. Then suddenly the AES gadgets
wakes up again.
Its worse if the system freezes while you are in a dialog-box. Because
then more often than not, the program will have called wind_update(), which
makes everything outside the dialog unusable. Try "Install Icon", and then
click on the up and down arrow a few times....

Also some programs are more prone to this lockup than others.
The worst I have found so far, is the viewer.app that accompanies this
multitos version.
