Yes, I have had this problem on -CURRENT systems, -STABLE systems and
stock 4.x systems. I have not been able to isolate when it happends,
but if I'm in X, I just shift to another console, and then shift back
into X. This usually cures it.
If someone knows what is causing this, that would be great to have!
