[snipped old] What desktop do you use?
From your reference to Control Center I guess it is either KDE or Gnome.
I have the above problem with fluxbox sometimes as the focus jumps to 'gkrellm' which is running at the side, but not enough to bother me.
I'm using KDE on both systems. As far as I can see, both have the same settings. I don't think I'm running gkrellm. Normally, the active desktop is highlighted. When this problem occurs, it's not and <ALT> TAB has no effect.
ALT-TAB was my next suggestion... :( I can only guess that the focus is going somewhere and the 'somewhere' is a hidden/iconised window, but more than that is hard to say. You'll just have to shutdown as many things as possible and start them up one by one till the problem appears. -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E
