Hm, I wonder if this is the problem you're talking about:

I click on a menu in netscape (single click, not drag, so the menu stays
up.) Netscape grabs the mouse pointer. I move the mouse over an xterm, of
course, the xterm isn't autofocused, since netscape has grabbed the
pointer. I click on the xterm. This pops down the menu in netscape, and
netscape gives up control of the mouse pointer. But the xterm doesn't get
focused. I have to exit and re-enter the xterm before it recieves the
focus.

It's sort of interesting that if I hit escape instead of clicking on the
xterm to get rid of netscape's menu, the xterm immediatly recieves the
focus.
