Description
After a period of time, Open and Front keys stop working on one monitor only.  In one case, if I drag window to right screen, then the Open key works.  Dragging window back to left screen, the Open key doesn't work.  Customer is using xinerama on SB1500 with XVR-100.  Window manager patch 119278-12.

Selecting minimize or lower from the window menu works on both screens.
Pressing Alt F9 (or alt F3) works for terminal windows on both screens.
Pressing Alt F9 (or alt F3) on an xev window only works on the righthand screen.
Pressing the Open key on an xev window on the lefthand screen shows a KeyPress and KeyRelease event for keycode 123 keysym F17.  So, it appears that the window manager is either not seeing the key event or just passing it thru to the window.
Pressing the Open key on an xev window on the righthand screen does not show a KeyPress event and instead iconifies the window.

Customer does not know when this happens and it does not happen on all systems.
Work Around
Restarting the workspace manager from the Workspace menu clears the problem.
