Hello,

Occasionally when i kill certain application on my system such as
evolution, or epiphany the keyboard focus is stolen. I suspect
metacity-dialog as culprit. Has anyone heard of a similar issue ?

Confirmed the culprit as metacity. A workaround is to login via ssh and
kill metacity

$ killall metacity metacity-dialog

Note to self: Next time - coredump and a bt.



When the keyboard focus is stolen the background process, video/audio
play fine. The mouse is fully functional. The window border's are not
updated., and i cannot zap ( Ctrl+Alt+BckSp ) do not work :(

TIA
