This bug has been effecting me for a very long time, over a number of
different versions of Ubuntu (currently running 10.04.1)

Something has changed recently however.

When I initially encountered the problem, which was about a year ago it
occurred quite frequently. I found a workaround which for some reason
made it occur less often. That is have the system automagically log in
to my guest account, then I log out and log in as me. (In this instance
the guest account was effected by the bug, but I immediately logged out
and thus was not a problem).

Using this work around I've only had the problem on rare occasions over
the last ~6 months+ (tbh I can't really recall the time frame, but it's
been a long time). When it did occur I just logged out and back in and
the problem was usually (but not always) resolved. Sometimes I had to
resort to alt-F1 a terminal login as root and reboot.

However sometime over the last week or two I've performed an update
which has changed things dramatically. My workaround no longer works and
the problem occurs with a far greater frequency.

I can usually right click the last component I used (the one that has
stolen the focus) bring up a context menu and the problem is resolved
temporarily. Once it starts though it keeps re-occurring until I reboot.

I note that as I type this the bug is currently in effect and that I
notice nothing unusual in Bubble Monitor running in my panel; ie CPU,
swap and memory use all appear normal and not under any strain.
