Workaround for signing in/out of multiple Google accounts?

I have three different accounts that I use with various Google properties; one is a GMail account ID and the other two were set up on YouTube before Google acquired it, and are associated with other e-mail accounts. I use one of these IDs with my Google Calendar.

The PITA is that every time I go to switch user accounts/IDs to be able to log into GCalender or into YouTube or whatever, it requires me to empty my cache and active log-ins to be able to sign out. (The only interface that works is Google Calender, which actually *does* allow me to successfully sign out.)

When I click on the arrow next to my screen name (say, in Google Reader), it gives me a drop-down box with "Sign out" at the bottom, but clicking on that does nothing. And on YouTube, if I go to "Switch account" or "Sign out", it just takes me to a page that says "Sorry, your log-in was incorrect"; there's not even a log-in dialog box to _try_ to log into!

Surely there's some sort of workaround for not having to clear my cache/active log-ins just to switch account IDs! Anyone?

Thanks!
