Is the problem that the clients aren't taking focus or have focus
but aren't accepting keyboard input?

My work system runs separate X servers on two heads (rather than
ximerama) and I have problems with windows occasionally refusing to
accept focus after I move the pointer from screen to screen (though I
can get an alternative window to accept focus and then switch back to
the window I originally wanted).  This started after an X.org upgrade
but I'm not sure which one.
