I have no idea where to even start debugging this problem, but I've
found a way to reproduce this every time.

First, log out and log back into your account.  For some reason the
problem is only reproducible on the first application you open.  I'm
using Gemas from gnustep-nonfsf svn to reproduce the bug.  Type
"openapp --debug Gemas" and run.  Go to Documents->Open..., and double
click on the "Name:" text box in the open dialog box.  The mouse
cursor will be permanently stuck on "I" cursor until you restart the
application.  Going through these same steps after the application has
already run once for the same session will not reproduce the bug.  You
need to log out and start a new session for it to show up again.

Let me know what else I can do to help here.  Keep in mind that even
after years using GNUstep I still consider most of what gui/back does
to be black magic.
