The result is that to get to a window that is behind the current window, I have to close that program, since I can't get to the window menu or the minimize button or use alt-tab. If I do "metacity --replace" I can alt-tab and interact with windows again. All this time I am able to interact with the contents of the windows, just not the window-management functions and window decorations provided by the window manager. I have never consistently been able to find a cause of this. Occasionally I find that the window that reports that external media has been detected is hidden behind all these windows and that when I close it I can interact with the other windows again, or that closing the wireless notification tooltip (which stays in perpetuity until I click to close it) restores interaction with the window manager. But sometimes I can close all windows and the only way to interact with the windows again is to switch managers. When I did "ubuntu-bug unity" to report the bug, one of the notifications I got was that it was impossible to grab the mouse and that this could be an effect of malware.
