I'm having this problem as well. Sometimes it keeps me from typing in fields even if the window is active or not. Here's some info about my system:
Ubuntu 10.10 x64 2-monitor setup ATI graphics chipset PS/2 Keyboard USB Cordless mouse I launched gedit in a terminal, made it the active window, then tried to click on an inactive window. It gave me three errors each time I did this: (gedit:2050): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_window_get_events: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed (gedit:2050): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (gedit:2050): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229123 Title: major window focus problem in X _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
