[Xmonad] trouble with xmonad 0.3: mod-tab intermittently makes mouse clicks cease to work

[Kai Grossjohann]

Are you running unclutter?  I find that xmonad behaves strangely when
unclutter has hidden the mouse pointer.

"unclutter -idle 2" leads to problems with OpenOffice: it doesn't want
to relinquish focus when you switch to another screen.

"unclutter -grab -idle 2" leads to problems with some Gtk apps (most
notably, Eclipse).  They don't drop down menus from the menu bar when
the mouse pointer is hidden and you hit Alt-F (say) to access the (File,
in this case) menu.
