I'm having similar problems also, and I noticed it happens mostly after
using "show desktop" plugin, and I am suspicious that it happens more often
when using the kb shortcut (in my case the special "win" key). The last
time, I had to reset the machine since my keyboard was totally locked and I
couldn't focus any app correctly, neither crt+alt+F(1-9)/Backspace worked.
