- I have observed the same issue for snapshot of the Ubuntu 9.04 desktop spin as of 2009-01-20.

- The same issue occurs on current Fedora 10, see

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463908 .

  consequently, this bug should already have occured in Ubuntu 8.10 based upon GNOME 2.24.x.

- Moreover, it appears that the bug is not in VIM because vim-X11-7.2.060-1.fc10 on F10 does
  grab the mouse pointer whereas the same version vim-X11-7.2.060-1.fc9 but on F9 does not.

- NOTE: I have observed that on F10, the issue is directly related to whether "Play sound effects
  when buttons are clicked" are enabled or not. Thus if you have problems with vim-gnome as
  described above, you can try to open the system sound preferences of the GNOME desktop
  and disable "Play sound effects when ..".

- In order to release the mouse focus, it is sufficient to execute 'killall gvim'. A PID is not
  necessary.
