Since I installed the 10.6.5 update yesterday, my dashboard no longer works properly. The various widgets all remain frozen and in various states of updating (ie. stocks not loading, weather only half loaded). None of them will allow me to interact with them at all. This persists even after a reboot and the use of Activity Monitor to try and terminate the dashboard processes.

Anyone else having this issue or know what to do about it?

Search around ~/Library/Caches and delete dashboard or widget caches. If that doesn't help, try deleting widget plist files from ~/Library/Preferences.
