Are you running unclutter? I find that xmonad behaves strangely when unclutter has hidden the mouse pointer.
"unclutter -idle 2" leads to problems with OpenOffice: it doesn't want to relinquish focus when you switch to another screen.
"unclutter -grab -idle 2" leads to problems with some Gtk apps (most notably, Eclipse). They don't drop down menus from the menu bar when the mouse pointer is hidden and you hit Alt-F (say) to access the (File, in this case) menu.
Hi Kay, as I said before I think there are some issues in the way unclutter behaves without the -grab option: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2007-August/001938.html In that message I also point to a small utility I wrote to substitute unclutter (I've been using it since then without any problem). Could you give it a try a tell me if your problems persist? Thanks Andrea
