 Do you have your window manager configured to auto-raise on focus?
I've had netscape raise itself over the top of menus that had the
server grabbed before.  It totally locks you out then.

 It was when I had a LogiTech mouse that had a middle button wired to
do a double-click instead of a real middle button.  I had emulate
three buttons set...  I couldn't drag with the middle button, like in
TkDesk, because it would stutter.  Without stay-up menus, it was very
hard to use.  I had to make a wishlet that let me toggle the far and
middle buttons (buttonswapper).

 Several times, I'd use the middle button to raise a menu in netscape, 
and have the wm raise netscape above the menu, causing a lockup.
