I'll give that a try the next time it happens. Thanks for your suggestion.

I have a sad engineering life just too full of meetings - all coordinated through iCal. I'll be using some cadtools on my linux box, with all the X11 windows displaying on my MacBook Pro, when all of a sudden a mouse-down event I'm in the middle of (e.g. a window move or doing a selection rectangle) will just stick and there's absolutely nothing I can do to unstick the mouse. I've tried cmd-tabbing to another application and things work OK there but when I return to X11 the problem picks up right where it left off (I also want to say that even if in that other application that if my mouse touches a X11 window that the problem also picks right up again). Even going to another space and coming back doesn't fix it. I literally have to quit X11 and start over. Sooo annoying.
