Public bug reported: It seems that the default configuration for "unclutter" causes Firefox and Thunderbird (probably all XUL applications) to randomly lose focus.
Examples: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1231588 https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=117704&start=15 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1234470 The default configuration in `/etc/default/unclutter` should probably include '-noevents' in addition to current flags in EXTRA_OPTS. Adding '-grab' should be considered, too.
