** Description changed:

- 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.
+ GTK apps grab mouse input when you click the resize-grip or menubar in tiling window managers.
+ The menubar bug only manifests with gnome-settings-daemon running.
