I get this exact problem when I have deleted or iconified a particular
sticky window and my cursor is no longer over another window on the
screen. Interestingly, I also lose all key mappings at that point until I
manually point the mouse at a window. This sounds related to the problem
you are having.
I tried to solve this by defining functions to specify what to do after
iconifying a window or deleting a window. My goal was to pick the next
reasonable window on the current screen. However, I never got
satisfactory results, and the partial results I got were noticably slow.
For now, I live with the fact that I occasionally need to reestablish
focus using the mouse.
