Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu Unity Desktop 14.04, mouse and keyboard events are sometimes
leaking through to underlying windows.

I've only noticed this behavior in conjunction with Remmina. I cannot
provide a sure way to reproduce this, because it only happens to me
about once a week. But, in Generally,  I'll will have a Remmina RDP
Remote desktop maximized (not full-screen, just maximized and scaled) on
one of my monitors, and then I may open Firefox, or any other program
(maximized) in front of the Remmina remote desktop window. In the other
application (not Remmina) I will notice that my keyboard and mouse
clicks seem to no longer be having an effect on the front window (I'm
mousing and keying on). When I finally switch back to Remmina, I see
that my keyboard inputs have actually been going through to Remmina
(instead of the front window I was actually attempting to interact
with). This is a serious bug, because I've actually modified code files
in a remote desktop, while interacting with a totally different
application window. This bug breaks window encapsulation.

After I discover this, I can then make it stop by switching to Remmina
(bring it to the top of the "window stack") and then explicitly minimize
it. After this the behavior will stop.

So the bottom line is, that, sometimes keyboard and mouse events leak
through the top window (of another application)  into Remmina, if
Remmina is behind the top window (of another application).
