Frequent, odd screen "lockups" in 4.0.5

[Marv Boyes]

Hello, everyone.

First of all: Xfce4 is an absolute treasure.

I hesitated to call it a "lockup", because it's temporary and easily 
fixed when it happens; it's also a relatively minor problem, but it bugs 
me ;)

Quite often, when I do something in one window, I'm suddenly unable to 
move focus to any other window. It was quite distressing the first time 
it happened, until I discovered that moving the focused window, even 
just by a few pixels, would free everything up again.

I haven't been able to pin it to any particular applications (or 
combinations thereof), or any particular operation carried out in any 
given window. I wonder if it might be an X problem, though it hasn't 
happened in KDE, GNOME, or fluxbox. I really haven't a clue what might 
be causing it; it's just been in the last couple of weeks, and I'm still 
using Xfce4 pretty much the same way as I ever have.

By the way, this installation of 4.0.5 is via Charles' RPMs, on a 
Mandrake 9.2 machine. Let me know if there are any other details you need.

Can anyone hazard a guess? Thanks in advance.
