Title:
  Warning of the window manager: Got a request to focus xxx (xxx) with a
  timestamp of 0.  This shouldn't happen!

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On many GTK applications, such as gnome-terminal, terminal, Chromium-
  Browser (sometimes) and Libre Office, the mouse pointer is flickering,
  sometimes even slowing down the performance of the application. The
  mentioned Terminals, for instance, are practically unusable. xterm on
  the other hand does not exhibit the mouse flickering behaviour and
  performing fine.

  When I move the mouse pointer onto the window decoration or an
  application that is not concerned with the problem, the flickering
  disappears, as well as the mouse pointer, and the performance is back
  to normal.

  While flickering, the file ~/.xsession-errors gets filled up with
  messages like "Warning from the window manager: Got a request to focus
  xxx (yyy) with a timestamp of 0.  This shouldn't happen!" whereas xxx
  is some hexadecimal number and yyy usually coresponds to the window
  title or program name that the mouse cursor is currently flickering
  on.

  .xsession-errors usually gets up to 700mb or even 1.6gb big.

  I have a Lenovo SL510 and having graphics problems since Precise,
  maybe it's a graphics driver issue and not related to unity-2d? I was
  able to use unity before, now since the upgrade I can only use
  unity2d, on xfce I did not encounter the bug.

  lspci gives me:

  00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
  00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 

  Thanks for any help!
