I find that several times a day my system switches from the X screen to the Apple screen for a fraction of a second - just long enough to lose a few keystrokes and turn "rm -rf /tmp/t" into "rm -rf /" (no, that hasn't really happened, but less drastic things have).
I wonder whether this is the same momentary-loss-of-focus issue that I've been griping of for awhile. I don't use full-screen mode but the loss of a few keystrokes seems about the same. I've been able to correlate some of the events with iCal alarms (they consistently happen 1 minute before an iCal alarm is due) and I suspect that Time Machine wakeups may cause it too. regards, tom lane
