    initial v1  
    11I am certainly drawing a - possibly incorrect - conclusion here, but given how complicated the grabbing code in the X server is I think it is a realistic one.  In theory I would be qualified to debug the X server code, but it would simply require time I should not be spending on that.  My assumption that sometimes releasing an X button grab can fail, so that the client which requested the grab will hold it until it is terminated.  This could happen to Compiz or to VirtualBox, which both execute button grabs, but this would be completely independent, and could happen to Compiz without VirtualBox running and vice-versa.  I have seen reports of similar bugs in the X server<1><2>, one fixed one not.
