This has happeneded to me for ever with both bo and hamm.  I think it is
either a 'feature' of X or is just something that happens.  Your best
bet is to use more xterms/rxvt's and switch to the console less.  Other
than that, maybe submit a bug to the xfree86 and X Consortium people and
cross your fingers.
