Bug Description

When installed and used on XUbuntu, gnome-terminal behaves very weird: When clicking in the wrong places, the whole window moves around by itself. Its sounds weird, please try it out yourself.

To reproduce:
1. Use XUbuntu 12.04
2. Install gnome-terminal, open gnome-terminal (make sure to open gnome-terminal and not another terminal emulator!)
3. Open a second tab in the terminal
4. Click in the menubar in the blank area right to "Help" (=> nothing happens)
5. Click on one of the tab-headers or in the terminal-surface (white area) itself (=> Mouse changes to hand icon)
6. Move around mouse

After this, the terminal window follows the mouse as if it was glued, this is defenetively not what is desired, I only clicked, never dragged the mouse!

I tested this on the Xubuntu 12.04 Live CD, the bug is there to, so do not think it is a configuration issue.

As a side-note: the xfce-terminal does not have this bug and I did not observe it with other applications.
