i have that trouble on my linux machine, too... has something to do with focus, i never even considered that it might be a wm bug. basically what i do to fix it is give focus to another application and then back to mozilla a few times, and just click like an idiot around the mozilla interface. i can't remember a time when it didn't return to normal operation after a bit, but it's pretty annoying if you're trying to get something done.
