I have seen a possibly related problem: usually when starting a new window
(_any_ window, including a new browser top-level window (not tab), a help
window, preferences window, etc) the new and old window become
unresponsive for several seconds, with both windows' captions madly
flashing, rapidly switching between inactive and active caption colors.
This doesn't happen every time -- just in most cases.
It's possible the behaviour differs because of the window manager used
(wmaker in my case) -- instead of the two windows warring over having
the focus, your window manager might be simply hiding the new one.

Uhm... I have seen that in at least a few months.
