Description:
After an upgrade to xorg-server 1.13.0-2, window focus does not follow mouse clicks any more. The only way to change focus is alt-tabbing, and right-clicking to focus mouse events, though that doesn't work consistently.
This happens at least under KWin and OpenBox, and in the KDM login screen (one can't open the login manager's session menu on first click for example), so it's very likely not a WM issue but further upstream.
The issue remains also when disabling compositing in KWin.

This forum post seems to describe the same issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148991
While setting SWcursor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf does work around the issue, the cursor starts to flicker so much that it's unusable. Unlike the forum post, no xrandr trick seems to do anything for me.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/xorg-server 1.13.0-2
extra/nvidia 304.51-3
* config and/or log files etc.
My Xorg log:
http://paste.kde.org/569192/

Steps to reproduce:
I'm not sure. Upgrade X on my machine I guess? The issue happens in an X session right from the start.
This task depends upon

I'm not using such a setting, not even such a DE. Please ask Xorg devs what has been changed and how to investigate this. Sounds like another upstream bug. Not sure if the evdev pkg is the reason or Xorg-server itself.

Can you reproduce it after unplugging one of your two monitors and restart X? I had one issue with alt+tab in x 1.13 when I had a second hidden screen.

What about the nouveau driver? I think upstream x is not too keen on debugging proprietary drivers.

I cannot reproduce.
In fact, the issue went away by itself about a week ago, and I haven't been able to reproduce ever since. I don't know how or why, because I didn't perform any updates.
