Summary:                    in mozilla link does not work with style position:relative
Description: 
Weird problem. If you run mozilla under xfwm then a link won't work anymore
if there is a stylesheet that has POSITION: relative. This does not happen
if you use another window manager.

I hardly see how the inner working of Mozilla could be related to the WM in
use. Anyway, do you have a test case that shows the problem?

Not only xfwm4; sawfish too. looks like a bug in mozilla to me (or maybe
mozilla assumes something about mouse grabs but that's not always the
case, dunno)

Okay, I have the root cause, but the fix implies some complex and deep
changes in xfwm4 code :(

In a nutshell, button click generates Enter/Leave notify events to the
client when buttons are grabbed as they are in xfwm4. Mozilla then
misinterpret the Enter/Leave events and ignores the button press event.

Ok, I might have something working. Needs more testing.
