Bug Description

I'm filing this against unity because I am not sure if the problem lies in dbusmenu or some other lower-level piece of the desktop puzzle.

When I open a link from X-Chat, Thunderbird, or any other application, then switch to Firefox, the interface does not respond to mouse clicks. I've noticed when this happens, the menus displayed in dbusmenu are not that of Firefox, but the application I opened the link from. Sometimes the normally maximized Firefox window shows a gap at the top with the other windows showing through behind it (attached). If I tab between applications enough or switch to another virtual terminal and back, the problem rights itself.
