I have done some more investigation on this and found the following bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650943
Clicking in the resize box triggers the mouse grab even when not running gnome-settings-daemon. I have also tested with non-GNOME gtk2 and gtk3 apps, and it happens only in the gtk3 ones, so I'm reassigning this to libgtk-3-0. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #650943 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650943 ** Package changed: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - gnome applications grab mouse input when the menu bar is shift-clicked while gnome-settings-daemon is running + GTK3 applications grab mouse input when the menu bar or the resize-grip are clicked -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878859 Title: GTK3 applications grab mouse input when the menu bar or the resize- grip are clicked Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since I updated to 11.10 last Friday gnome-terminal has been grabbing my mouse input every few days. First I noticed that my mouse clicks and movement stopped being noticed by all apps, and the people in #ubuntu-x told me that it was likely a client had grabbed the mouse, so I killed my running processes one by one, until killing gnome-terminal solved it. Today it happened again, my first measure was killing gnome-terminal, and that solved it, confirming gnome-terminal is the culprit. I have not yet noticed any pattern in what triggers the problem, and I'm not sure on how I should act to find it out.
