Bug#719496: freeorion: input textfields doesn't work after a while.

[Marius Wegner]

I use Xfce, Nouveau and a Geforce GT 425M on amd64. Everything else in the  
game including mouse keeps working.

Modifying x11_keyboard_grab to true doesn't help, but i started freeorion  
in xmonad today and it runs without the bug. probably its a problem with  
xfwm4.
