Title:
  Running unclutter without "-noevent" causes focus problems for Firefox
  and Thunderbird

Status in unclutter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It seems that the default configuration for "unclutter" causes Firefox
  and Thunderbird (probably all XUL applications) to randomly lose
  focus.

  Examples:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1231588
  https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=117704&start=15
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1234470

  The default configuration in `/etc/default/unclutter` should probably
  include '-noevents' in addition to current flags in EXTRA_OPTS. Adding
  '-grab' should be considered, too.
