I have been using different version of Kubuntu for the past 3 years
without issues. Last week I formatted my drive and installed Kubuntu
12.10. Since then I have been having the exact same issues as described
in the bug description.

KDE 4.9.3
Xorg 11.0
synaptiks 0.8.1

Dell Vostro 1500 laptop (with what I believe is a synaptics touchpad)
Logitech G5 USB mouse
Kensington Expert Mouse 

The problem is totally random. I have been unable to find a trigger to
replicate it. Likewise, I have tried many methods to regain correct
focus, but with different success. Sometimes the focus is freed simply
by clicking somewhere else, sometimes I can free it by switching to
console and then back, while sometimes I have to relog. The problem
often happen right after boot, and locks to Thunderbird, which is the
first window to open. Relogging will make the problem go away, but can
come back at any moment. It can be hours or seconds before the focus
gets stuck again.

I looked at the logs, but nothing gets printed when the bug appears or
go away.

I can give more information if asked.

The bug has been reported at many level, but since the source cause seems not 
known even after all these years, I will simply copy/paste this message 
everywhere.
