Squeak/X11 mouse strangeness

Hi Unix Squeakers!
I have a bit of a question...I often leave my Squeak VM running for extended
periods of time running on my Xterminal (I rarely log out). I'm finding,
however, that sometimes after being up for a while, the mouse events in Squeak
get confused somehow. For example, if I have a browser window up, when things
get in their confused state, if I click on a class definition the name of the
definition gets highlighted in yellow (as opposed to grey/red) and nothing
happens (ie the breakdown of the class does not happen in the rest of the
browser). If I right-click on the 'root' MVC desktop in this state, the
equivalent of the 'do' menu pops up instead of the usual menu with 'open..' in
it. It almost seems that the mouse click is being 'modified' somehow, as
though the alt key or a control key were stuck.
I'm not sure that this is a Squeak-related thing, since the only way I can fix
it is to reset the Xterminal...however no other apps I have running exhibit
this behaviour, only Squeak. (Then again the current incarnation of the HP
Xterminal software is known to be extremely buggy, so I can't rule that out!)
Has anyone else seen this happen?
