Something similar happens to me with a 64-bit Debian, using a revision from a few months ago and a revision from about a month ago.
There are moments where the games work correctly (without pausing), but sometimes the game won't run unless I move the mouse over the window or click it.

Found a fix thats works for me and it's pretty simple:
change
Source/Plugins/Plugin_VideoOGL/Src/GLUtil.cpp line 168 from
for (int num_events = XPending(GLWin.dpy); num_events > 0; num_events--) {
to
for (int num_events = XPending(GLWin.dpy) -1; num_events > 0; num_events--) {
The XEvent loop was looking for 1 too many events, which caused XNextEvent to hang until it got another event, which in turn prevented XLib input driver from querying the mouse and keyboard in a seperate thread.

Karloathian's fix is working for me with the latest revision (5743) on my updated Arch64 install.

This is wrong. It sounds like the x server implementation on these distributions that are having this problem has a bug in it. Now if there is a single event occurs it is not detected until the next event occurs. This must be reverted immediately.
