Question: Are you running KDE?  This same problem happens to me only
when I am running KDE, not another window manager.  Especially in KDE
1.0. The problem seems to go away when using a more recent unstable
snapshot, but unfortunately of course, those tend to introduce more new
bugs than they fix.  I don't really have a solution for you ... I wish I
did, because I am going to have to switch back to FVWM because this is
annoying.
