This problem is weird, as it appears and after a few weeks disappears,
and then reappears. I have it again. "Raise window when any mouse
button is pressed" in the xfwm4-tweaks-settings has been unticked
since last year, I did not change this setting this year.

However there is something different this time. Last year as far as I
remember this problem manifested with all software, in particular I
remember clearly that it manifested with Okular as I use it a lot to
read long pdfs. Today the problem manifests with some programs and not
others. It works well with Okular, Kate and Geany, but there is a
problem with Seamonkey, Leafpad and Firefox (my regular profile as
well as a freshly created profile).

My software setup is not static as I am on Arch and do software
updates about once a week, sometimes twice in a week. This being Arch
there are always lots of changes as I have 1850 packages installed.

Any ideas?
