	The original poster did not mention what window manager they
are using, but I have seen the same problem using OpenWindows.  It was
never really irritating enough for me to look for a fix.  However, I
am relatively certain that it is not an epoch bug since I have had the
same problem with my xterms.  I always just move the mouse in an out
of the window and get on with my work, but if anyone has a fix for
this I would love to know about it.
