Same thing here.
I was checking the bugs database for a fix.

There are many reports of that kind.
Some are closed because there one suspects
an elusive kernel bug or X driver bug.
But there is a pattern here...

This might be related to a form of X server grab.
When there is such a hang, focus-follows-mouse no longer works.  
I can still click into a konsole and execute commands.
On the other hand, clicks on the kicker icons do nothing.
After a few seconds, all my lost clicks are replayed
(as if using XAllowEvents after a X server grab)
and everything is back to normal...

Using Redhat8 + FedoraLegacy + KDE-Redhat (3.2.1).

Question: This seems a complex interaction bug.
KDE seems to do something that triggers the problem.  
How to instrument the code and obtain more information?
