Applications (I've observed gnome-terminal, pidgin and empathy) lose track of window focus status.
For instant messaging programs, this is particularly bad because they don't alert you about received messages.
The problem appears to manifest itself randomly and can be remedied. In gnome-terminal, for example, opening and closing the About box makes it restart tracking window focus.
