Huh, thats a new one, but I have a problem that is slightly similar. With 
XFree 4.1.0 and KDE 2.2.2 I get problems with focus on my A20p. The window 
manager seems to get very confused. For instance I'll grab the title bar of a 
window to move it, and then the system seems to not notice when I release it, 
so my window will happily follow the cursor around... :(. Eventually a few 
random mouse clicks will cure the problem, but it also happens with other 
decorations like resize etc. Sometimes just the mouse cursor retains some 
alternate shape appropriate to resizing or whatever when the rest of the 
window manager seems perfectly aware that I'm doing something else now. Very 
strange and only seems to happen on this one combo of hardware and software.
