focus and tooltip problems

Hello all,

I've been having some annoying problem for about 3 months now, they just 
happened after upgrading cvs head but i'm afraid i lost track of the date. 
it's two things that annoy the hell out of me and i wondered if anyone could 
shed any light?

Firstly, there is a bizarre focus problem which i find it hard to explain but 
can almost always reproduce by clicking on the K menu, picking any group (eg 
Internet) and dragging an icon to the desktop (eg Konqueror). it brings up 
the copy/move/link context menu only i can't click on it because the focus is 
still on the menus. I can't unclick the emus either because the mouse is 
stuck so i have to hit escape before i can get to the context menu.
this manifests its self in a few places, for example, the grouping of tasks in 
kicker. If i have two konqueror windows open, click on konquerer and it then 
wants you to click which one to restore, except the mouse can't be used. I 
have to use the keyboard to select which instance.

Lastly, a slightly less annoying problem to do with tool tips in the systray 
applet. if i *brush* my mouse over just *one* icon in there, i get a tooltip 
pop up for all the icons and they don't disappear. To get rid of them i have 
to hover my mouse over each of the icons (not the tooltip) to get it to 
disappear, but if i hover too long it brings it back or it accidently brings 
up the tooltip of the icon next to it.

I hope i have explained these well enough, and suggestions welcome!

Cheers,

Andy
