Bug#726784: Works for me

[Stephan Sokolow (You actually CAN reply)]

There's more info on the KDE, Ubuntu, and Fedora bug trackers.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348270
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1240957
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983834

TL;DR: It depends on the WM but it's broken on more than one WM. Ubuntu 
"fixed" it by patching Compiz and it still affects Kubuntu 14.04 LTS users.

GTK+ has been patched but, obviously, that only helps people it gets 
backported to.

According to a post on the KDE bug tracker entry, a workaround is to 
export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1

"smarter" spambots and remind friends and family to use the custom
aliases I gave them.
