It's strange. For me I only have the focus problems in Mozilla, not Galeon. I'm pretty up to date in Unstable. The symptom in Mozilla is that I lose the blinking text cursor in an text box. Switch to another window and back restores the text box's focus. I hadn't seen this until recently. But I also recently switched to fluxbox from WindowMaker. So I was wondering if fluxbox was triggering the glitch.
