Binary package hint: gnome-session

Just recently, I have noticed with Karmic and my laptop that clicking on
the window title bar focuses the wrong window. It happens mostly when I
click and drag, expecting to move the window from one monitor to the
other. Often the window is maximized.

In my setup, I have a laptop with an external monitor enabled via
xrandr. The problem occurs with both my DVI and my VGA output. I put my
laptop into standby when I leave work and wake it back up at home, so I
switch between the monitors in one gnome-session.

My LnF is custom, using Human-Clearlooks and a custom Window Border I
found on the gnome look site called "BlendedSmallDoubleRound".

It isn't 100% reproducible but does happen quite often. I never had this
problem in Ubuntu pre-Karmic.
