I've seen this in XFCE  on F8, so my guess is that it is not specific
to the desktop environment.  My recourse is to log out and log back in
- it seems to only occur after i have used the VMWare server console
via an X forwarded connection to my rhel4 box.  That does some wacky
things with X to grab input, so I just kind of dismissed it as "it
hurts when I do that, doc".  Also, it doesn't happen all the time.
