Re: [fedora-virt] Xorg input focus problem with virt-manager guest VNC window

I just did a yum update and reboot on Fedora 16, and since then

been having input focus issues (outside of guests). Whenever I move
the mouse over a virt-manager guest console window (VNC), I can't
right click title bars of windows that are stacked on top of the
virt-manager guest. Additionally, often the input focus gets stuck
such that even after moving the mouse to other areas of the desktop
and other windows, I can't type into them at all, nor click anything.
Cutting and pasting with the left/middle mouse buttons in
gnome-terminal still seems to work, though. The text cursor in
gnome-terminal windows blinks very quickly and erratically while stuck
in this state.
When this happens, I have to mouse back into the virt-manager guest
VNC console and back out again, which usually clears the issue.
I realize this might not be caused by virt-manager itself, but I
thought I'd start here in case others have seen this issue, and also
to learn what virt-manager/VNC might be doing differently to the X
server to trigger this issue vs. other X clients. Many packages were
updated, including:
NVIDIA binary driver (unfortunately required to use the 4 displayport
outputs on the nVidia Quadro NVS 420 card I have)

You'll only hit it if you have virt-preview or updates-testing enabled. I'll
get a new build going.
