So, I fiddle for a while and suddenly all mouse clicks except right clicks in the root are ignored (or, if I right click on anything it pretends that focus is in the root window). happens in wmfs, twm, dwm so far (haven't tested any further).
Focus no longer follows the mouse (for any focus model: click, sloppy, or focus-follows-mouse), though the cursor moves just fine.
Keyboard commands work perfectly.
Restarting X doesn't change anything. Rebooting doesn't change anything (admittedly one out of every (so far) 8 reboots clears it up for an hour or so).
This applies equally to the touchpad or the usb mouse.
I literally rebuilt every single thing twice (except openoffice and java (& don't even suggest it)) and it persists. I don't have a clue where to go from here, as google-ing phrases like "xorg 7.5 mouse won't focus" have yielded not even a hint.

I could provide you with a couple dozen other search terms I have tried, if you want to bandy semantics.
