Sorry for the cross-post; but this is an issue for LM7.2 and cooker users alike... Since installing LM7.2 the other day, I've been experiencing problems which can only be considered "race conditions". For instance, a few moments ago, I was doing my usual Netscape stuff of triggering pages, switching to another previously accessed one while the new page was loading, etc. when I found that a new freshly loaded google.com page would not accept any keyboard input. Fearing the bug which kills all keyboard input, I switched around a few of the windows and found that the keyboard was working. Back to the google page and it was now accepting input. Then, trying to reproduce the problem, I hit reload on the google page, switched to another browser window and *incorrectly* got the reloaded page into the now topped page. I'm fairly convinced there is a serious race condition problem in X because when I reported that KDE2 was not accepting keyboard input, I noticed another report complaining of the same thing under Gnome. PLEASE, if you are experiencing such situations, open a bug so that this gets some attention and can be resolved for the next release. I'is getting quite aggravating.
