For anyone else having this problem, I've eliminated the day-to-day
hassle by using sakura for my term app instead of gnome-terminal. It's
very similar in interface and doesn't trigger this bug.

Title:
  gnome applications grab mouse input when the menu bar is shift-clicked
  while gnome-settings-daemon is running

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since I updated to 11.10 last Friday gnome-terminal has been grabbing my mouse input every few days.
  First I noticed that my mouse clicks and movement stopped being noticed by all apps, and the people in #ubuntu-x told me that it was likely a client had grabbed the mouse, so I killed my running processes one by one, until killing gnome-terminal solved it.
  Today it happened again, my first measure was killing gnome-terminal, and that solved it, confirming gnome-terminal is the culprit.
  I have not yet noticed any pattern in what triggers the problem, and I'm not sure on how I should act to find it out.
