I just did a yum update and reboot on Fedora 16, and since then I've 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)
1:akmod-nvidia-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 1:kmod-nvidia-295.59-1.fc16.4.x86_64 1:kmod-nvidia-3.3.1-3.fc16.x86_64-295.40-2.fc16.x86_64 1:kmod-nvidia-3.4.5-1.fc16.x86_64-295.59-1.fc16.4.x86_64 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64 1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-295.59-1.fc16.x86_64

I'm also using Gnome 3 in fallback mode.
Thanks.

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

That sounds like it. Thanks for the doing a new F16 build!
