I've been keeping a closer eye on my problem. I'm using fvwm1 with
click-to-focus and lose-focus-on-screen-switch. If I move from one screen

indicate that it has focus but keyboard input is ignored.
This is likely an fvwm1 problem. I use it too (without 2 monitors) and
after some time something gets broken in its focus handling, and the
windows stop getting focus. Restarting fvwm clears up the problem.
In my case, it's erratic. I suppose I could try restarting the window
manager next time a window freezes.
I've occasionally also had weird focus problems with KDE. Among other things,
it looks like occasionally the mouse release event is lost somewhere in the
system (or something along these lines) -- I don't know if it's a driver
problem, a moused problem, an X11 probem, or a KDE problem. If I press and
release each of the buttons, especially the third button, things will often
recover. As long as the button is "held down", KDE doesn't switch the focus
and other events are largely ignored. Odd, eh?
