  That's  because there  are pointer/keyboard  grabs taking  place. When
these occur,  the window  manager doesn't receive  mouse/keyboard events
that are  instead directed only to  a specific window (the  popup of the
combo, in your case) even if, say,  the user clicks on another one. When
you kill the  app, the grabs are released and  X becomes responsive once
again.

  There are lots of posts on the subject, see for reference:

  You could debug from a VT, a second machine, or Xnest.
