On the last point,

previously I mentioned Gimp stealing the mouse focus, causing me to kill 
X even though other X application were responsive.

This happened again with the perspective tool, if it had crashed and 
closed it would have been ok, but in this case it gave the [segfault 
error, continue, exit... etc] in the command line prompting me for 
input, but the input being locked didnt let me enter in a value.

I mean to say that a tool crashing and the tools locking the input are 
seperate issues.- its not the perspective-clone tools fault X11 is 
locked. ;-)
