I believe the message is actually intended for Jamie Kennea. However, I
cannot figure out how to accomplish these steps with a MBP trackpad,
because once I click on one "button" the trackpad does not seem to
accept other clicks until the original one is released.

There is one issue that I know of that sounds very similar to this one. Is this similar to what you saw? If so, it sounds like X11 didn't have the correct state of the hardware? Did you try clicking your mouse buttons to see if the windows stopped moving by themselves? I'm curious what 'xinput test pointer' and 'xev' would've been printing at that time...
1 - Open X11
2 - Open an xterm window
3 - Left click on the xterm windows title bar in order to move it around
4 - While moving it around, bring the mouse cursor inside the menu bar
5 - When the cursor arrives above any menu top level entry, stop moving the mouse and while keeping the left mouse button pressed, press (and hold) the right mouse button
5 - Release the left mouse button, this will close the menu
6 - Release the right mouse button, this will have no visible consequence
7 - Move the mouse cursor and notice the xterm window is following it

You mention these events happen only on your laptop. I have seen not the same but similar oddities on my April 2010 13" MBP that has the integrated graphics (i.e. shared graphics memory). I have not seen this behavior on my August 2010 iMac with separate video memory. The MBP has also locked up entirely twice with odd video effects (lines across the screen) both times when I tried to awake from sleep into an xterm using a (builtin) trackpad click.

Hi,
OK, will do, however sadly I didn't get that debug statement in time to debug my new weird quartz-wm behaviour: fleeing windows. In a rather bizarre experience, I found that whenever I put my mouse pointer over an xterm it moved slightly so the pointer was no longer over it. Moving my mouse again ended up in me literally chasing the window around the screen. A restart of X11 fixed it, but god, I wish I had made a video of it, it was surreal.
For the record all of these weird xquartz behaviours happen on my laptop only. Other 2 Macs have never had any issues.
Cheers,
Jamie

Can you please run quartz-wm with debugging enabled? Do the following:
mkdir ~/.xinitrc.d
cat > ~/.xinitrc.d/99-quartz-wm.sh <<EOF
export DEBUG=1
exec /usr/bin/quartz-wm > /tmp/quartz-wm.log 2>&1
EOF
When you see this problem, run this in Terminal.app:
tail -f /tmp/quartz-wm.log
What gets printed as you interact with the X11 windows?
As I've mentioned before, I'm working on improving the logging in X11, but hopefully that will give us a bit of insight.
Thanks,
Jeremy

And yes, doing the sample on xquartz seemed to fix it. This is a wierd issue.
I take it back, sampling it didn't fix it this time.
