bug#15988: 24.3; Pointer in new frames does not move

[Vincenzo Andretta]

-----
Actions:

  Start with emacs -Q
  open a new buffer (e.g.: "text1.txt")
  start a new frame (C-x 5 2)
  open another buffer (e.g.: "text2.txt")

Problem:

  The cursor in this new frame does not follow the pointer.  In other
  words, while typing, the typed characters do appear in the frame, but
  the cursor (solid black, by default) remains fixed, usually at the
  first column of the buffer.

The same happens in the minibuffer window of the new frame, as well as
in any new frame.

The problem has appeared on openSUSE 13.1 [GNU Emacs 24.3.1
(x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.0) of 2013-09-30 on build40],
under KDE 4.11, while it did not appear on openSUSE 12.2 [GNU Emacs
24.2.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4) of 2012-12-10 on
build20], under KDE 4.8.
