(Get the code!)
this problem seems to still occur, I have not run linux for long and i have only noticed this randomly in the last month.
Problem = "A" Window grabs control of the mouse and does not let go, can still move the mouse but no interaction with any part of the screen.
This has happened on a Dell Latitude D505 and on a Fujitsu base unit, both running Xubuntu 12.04.
I seem to be able to replicate the error by quickly and continuosly maximising and restoring the window by clicking in the windows title bar itself.
This will work with Firefox 15.0.1 and with Thunar 1.2.3 but does not seem to work on the Terminal 0.4.8. (dont know if Terminal cannot trigger the error for some reason, but more qualified people will have to judge)
I can only get out of it by getting to a terminal window using <ALT> + <CTRL> + F1, and typing "killall -u <MyUserName>.
Then logging back in.
