I have tried to reproduce this bug with razor-qt and xfce but haven't
succeeded yet. I believe it has nothing to do with window managers but
with the way those desktop environments handle mouse and keyboard input.
However I think there is enough information to work on a solution.

Given all the information so far, the way forward seems to be:

1.
Install OISInput.cfg either to /etc/freeorion or ~/.freeorion and let
users adjust those settings as they see fit.

2.
Disable / comment out all configuration options in OISInput.cfg by
default and let the desktop environment handle mouse and keyboard input.

That should solve your issues and you can still tweak those settings.

I hope this helps

Markus
