Original, more detailed, version of this comment lost due to launchpad bugs.

This bug is present on Ubuntu 9.04 with the latest version of the package from the repository installed (including stable, testing, and unstable).

gustavo appears to be incorrect; this is not your run of the mill grab pointer bug; the system responds to mouse events, you just can't see the result.

sabby7890's patch is already applied. It is also a bad patch file since it was produced without using "diff -u" and will therefore apply incorrectly and without warning to a modified or different version of the file.

I have changed the status from invalid to confirmed. This package is broken, whether or not the problem exists in the application code itself. Until a new package is released that has either a workaround that actually works or depends on a new version of pygtk that fixes the problem, this bug should not be closed.

The new package version alluded to in #369549 is not available to apt-get in stable/testing/unstable/jaunty-updates. Perhaps this will change soon. But until you can "apt-get update alarm-clock" and fix the problem, this is an open bug.
