Other people [on lkml, iirc, or maybe it was here] have reported KDE2
related weirdness wrt the mouse/apps/X. Eithewr there are separate issues,
or KDE2 aggravates the problem(s) that already exist.

I am using focus follows mouse and sometimes the mouse, or X, or whatever,
'forgets' to focus - I find shifting the focus to some other window and
back again makes things Ok. I don't see any of the other more sever
problems though.
