This seems related to the previous problem of generally slow response
to key
presses...
Has anyone else run into this?
I don't see any behaviour like that, and I can't really visualize what
you are describing. Can you upload some screenshots somewhere?
Facts which might be relevant:
- do you have the taskbar set to autohide?
- what version of Windows are you using?
- is this the same problem as you mentioned at [1]?

Sorry my description was so vague. It is indeed the same problem as in
[1] (I thought maybe the other had gotten lost in the shuffle and
reposted it).
Basically, you know how the previous bug would make X apps unresponsive
to key presses and mouse events until you did an alt-tab to "wake" them?
Now I never get that any more but I get virtually the same behavior with
my XP Pro non-autohide task bar, which is docked on the left side of my
screen. If I mouse over systray icons, the tooltips don't appear.
Mousing over the window entries doesn't make them highlight. Clicking on
a window's entry or the 'start' button does nothing. It really is like
something invisible sits over the whole area and intercepts all mouse
events. The behavior continues for around 5 seconds or until I alt-tab
some other window to foreground (whichever comes first). This doesn't
always happen, and it only happens when an X window is in the foreground.
