[Bug 52910] Button release event delayed in gtk, maybe x

[Christian Convey]

I'm using a version of Dapper that's fully patched as of today (13 July
2006).  Either today or yesterday, I started seeing behavior where
sometimes a mouse-button release wouldn't register until I moved the
mouse.

For instance, when I click on a button, the button looks depressed as it
should.  But when I release the mouse button, the button continues to
look depressed and the action normally triggered by a button click
doesn't occur.  It's only when I next move the mouse that the button
returns to its non-depressed appearance and its functionality executes.

I'm doing some Gtk programming with Python as well, and I started seeing
this in my own program.  What I'm specifically seeing is that sometimes
the gdk.BUTTON_RELEASE event doesn't get delivered to  my application
until the mouse is moved.  I don't know if this is an X, or a gdk,
problem.
