Are you using KDE 3? I'm going to experiment with some other window
managers, but I have observed that there are weird problems with color and
focus too.
Specifically, when I switch between one application window and another,
the contents of other wwindows and the desktop (eg the task bar icons and
text) sometimes become blurred and the colors shift (white becomes grey,
eg). At first I thought this might be an issue with Opera but I have found
it to happen with Konsole, KWord, etc.
Thanks,
- nick
