Why would I? I can move the pointer, I can select text in xterm.
Everything that moused is involved with--pointer movements and
button clicks--works fine. The problem is somewhere at the X11
level. It may depend on some specific interaction with the window
manager, and since I seem to be the last person on the planet to
run mwm... :-(
(Besides, as I mentioned before, moused is started by devd. I have
no rc.conf configuration for it.)
BTW, running xlock when the focus is stuck produces this error:
xlock, could not grab pointer! (1)
I've been trying this as I type this message since the focus is
stuck again. I'm starting to wonder whether there is a 24h pattern,
not that that would make any sense.
Okay, I've found a way to unstick the focus: switch to a different
VT and back. That's a viable workaround.
