Try the following:
	start a program which will pull up a window in a few seconds
	select a menu with C-M-right button (or anything else
		requiring modifier keys and mouse buttons), near the
		middle of the screen
	wait for the window to come up

The results I got:

* The window displaying the size of the position and geometry of the
  new window (bug#1: i am never told the name of the window I am
  positioning) obscured part of the menu; the menu was never redrawn,
  even when I moved the mouse through that part later.  (The boxes did
  highlight, but the text didn't come back.)
* After I placed the window (which was the only thing I could do), I
  had to get the same combination of keys and buttons in order to get
  the menu to respond again.
