System name:		ethanhunt.csail.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.3.8 (with mkserv)
Display type:		Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 05)

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

X sporadically refuses to accept mouse clicks and keyboard input for
many applications, including xscreensaver noted previously, as well as
mozilla, and occasionally just on login.  This is on a dualheaded
system.

It's possible that the problem may lie in incompatibility of the
installed version XFree86 and Matrox's mga_drv.o (not the original
mga_drv.o that comes with athena, but a version downloaded from
matrox.com with dualhead support).
