Strange behaviour, sometimes window ignores keyboard

Im using KDE 4.3 with compiz, and have a really strange problem
Sometimes when i change windows, and make active a previous one, that window doesnt respond to my keyboard commands but it does to my mouse clicks.

this has happened in firefox, akregator and kile, in kile i must minimize and maximize the window again to be able to write in it. when its not responding i can move the cursor in the text but it doesnt tick nor writes.

I hope you can help me with this strange issue, ill post logs as required but right now im too lost to know which ones would be useful

Re: Strange behaviour, sometimes window ignores keyboard

Is this a new installation or did the problem occur only recently? How is your X configured? In general, there is a manual method using xorg.conf and an automatic configuration. Do you face this problem with any application you use or only with the ones you mentioned?

Re: Strange behaviour, sometimes window ignores keyboard

The problem is recent, i have been using Arch for a couple of months now.

my xorg.conf is manually configured:

Section "ServerLayout"                       
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"    
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0

        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "AIGLX" "on"                 
EndSection

Dont know if it's the same thing, but also when using dolphin sometimes i cant erase files with DEL, the only way is to minimize and maximize again, then pressing DEL.
As i mentioned, the problem is intermitent, so i dont know if it's with all applications or only the ones i've mentioned.
