Mike emmel said this bug (and other similar bugs he was reported about 
during last days) could even be related to DFB, anyway fixing wrong 
input handling is now into his TODO list.
He said he will work on that as soon the CairoDFB project is megred into 
Cairo mainline (and he seems to be pleased by the progression that the 
GTK FE made during last weeks).
