Nothing happens if I click on it.

Sometimes I get a system tray icon that will allow me to get focus back (with right-click->focus) - but sometimes it's not there either.

Might be unrelated, but I've been using quake mode a lot recently. It's not the quake window I'm having trouble with - but it might be that it happens to the main window sometimes if I use the quake window.
