Yes, this is driving me nuts.  The focus seems to come back sometimes 
but usually not.  It is annoying either way!

I have two theories:

1) Spotlight -- I've seen it flash its icon right when the focus left a 
number of times.  I've just recently disabled the spotlight key bindings 
but am not sure yet whether or not that helped.

2) Spaces and/or X11 -- Wouldn't be the first odd X11/Spaces conflict.  
I can't work w/o X11 but maybe should try disabling Spaces for a while 
(tho I tend to rely on it pretty heavily).  I have seen it happen in 
non-X11 apps also, but it may still be something that only occurs when 
X11 is present.
