I'm about 1,000 pages into a rebuild of my Genesis site in Epik theme on a temp URL. No theme problems to speak of, but over the past week I've had intermittent, and now very persistent issues with sidebars not opening (accordion won't open) for me to add/remove content when on the widgets.php page in Dashboard. The problem extends to the available widgets themselves, they do nothing when I click on them so I can't add them to the sidebars. I'm up to date on all plugins, theme, and WordPress and can't find any errors using Firebug, so I'm stumped. Ideas?

I had a similar issue a year or so ago, and the culprit turned out to be a weird interaction between some competing javascript, and it interfered with the way WP would update options info, as in sidebar updates and even media uploads.

Have you tried deactivating the newest ones one at a time, going back newest to oldest and see if one of them might be causing this? Just because a plugin is up-to-date doesn't mean that it's not causing a conflict.
I had to go back to an older version of WP-UI on one site because the update caused the tabs layout to stop working, while that update worked fine on two other sites.
Doesn't Shortcodes UI do something with shortcodes in widgets? You should also be able to check the error_log for that site... it's easy to find since you're using Hostgator. That might give you a clue where to look next.
