I upgraded yesterday, and am similarly afflicted
Thanks Patrick for a workaround, +200+200 works for me.
Mario's suggestion of startxwin doesn't solve the problem because
startxwin doesn't allow single root window mode.
Another minimal way to demonstrate the problem:
DISPLAY=:0; export DISPLAY
XWin &
twm &
notice that twm doesn't have focus, and pressing button1 on the root
window doesn't show a menu.
Howewver if you then force twm to ask where to place a window by doing:
xclock &
then once the window has been placed I can see the button1 menu, and
subsequent xterms etc work properly.
When I tried fvwm as an alternative window manager, it worked ok.
